Sam Carter is a precocious young singer and guitarist from Rutland, East Midlands. Since moving to London in 2004 he has been busily honing his craft as a writer and performer. Sam has studied guitar with Martin Simpson and supported Bellowhead on their 'Matachin' album launch tour, which led Bellowhead lead singer Jon Boden to hail him as 'the finest English-style finger-picking guitarist of his generation'.

In addition to this, Sam is a former Emerging Artist In Residence at the Southbank Centre, where he collaborated with a wealth of talented musicians and artists including Nitin Sawhney, Riz MC (star of 'Shifty'), Nathan 'Flutebox' Lee and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

Sam is an independent artist and has two releases to date, both self-released under 'Captain Records' - Here In The Ground EP (2008) and Keepsakes (2009) available on CD from HMV, Amazon and other online retailers. Keepsakes is available for download from iTunes and Amazon. Both CDs are also available from www.samcartermusic.co.uk
