Tim Carter: Vocals, Banjos, Mandolin, Guitar, and Harmonica

Like Brother Dan, Tim Carter was influenced very early on by the strains if the Appalachian folk and bluegrass music that surrounded them in North Carolina. In his early teens Tim became obsessed with the banjo and spent many hours everyday learning the different styles of the great N.C. players. Earl Scruggs and Don Reno were especially influential in Tim’s development as a banjo player. Tim played in various bluegrass-folk bands while in college in Boone, N.C. After college he and Brother Danny teamed up to pursue their musical journey together as an acoustic duo. They began playing the ski resorts and various venues in the mountains of N.C. Soon the urge to experiment and create led them towards a more folk/rock/bluegrass direction by adding drums and bass to their ever developing sound. About this time Tim began learning and playing the mandolin and harmonica. The electric folk/rock/bluegrass/blues sound of the Brothers was born!

Now residing in Nashville Tim is pursuing his very talented skills as a producer/engineer. He built and designed the recording studio on the property of their home in the hills of Tennessee. When he and Dan are not on the road he travels sometimes with banjo great and good friend Alison Brown as sound engineer. Tim is also a fine writer of instrumental music. "Tim is always experimenting with sounds and rhythms, never ceases to amaze me and is a constant source of inspiration" says Brother Dan. The journey continues.... Tim plays Gibson, Deering and Nechville acoustic/electric banjos, Taylor acoustic/electric guitar and Kentucky acoustic/electric mandolins. Onstage amplification is usually Fender amps and direct to the mixing console.
