» CARTER GRAVATT I grew up in Blackstone, Va., a small town south of Richmond. I spent the better part of the summers at the beach in North Carolina when I could, and the school year was usually full of kayaking/climbing expeditions with my dad and friends. I always loved music when I was younger, but never played. Skating and surfing introduced me to punk and heavier music, which I still love and Virginia has a rich musical history that had already had an effect on me that I would not realize until much later. I went to college at Randolph Macon and began playing music and I studied English, Biology, and Environmental science during my time there. I spend my free time playing music with my friends around Richmond and working on other little projects. Skating and other outdoor activities still consume much of my life, though I am not free to pursue them as much as I could before we started touring so much. Thanks for listening and I hope to see you at a show soon. Best.......later Musicians that inspire me - Brad Mehldau, Edgar Meyer, David Grier, Pat Metheny, Danny Gatton, Bela Fleck, Mike Marshall |
