Duo: Michael Carter (voice) and Ed Johnson (guitar)
The Metro Newspaper acclaims "Latter-day crooner
Michael Carter sings in the style of Sinatra." Michael is the
fourth-generation manifestation of a musical family and received his first
voice lessons from his grandfather, Harry Carter, an accomplished musician and
recording artist. He later studied under two of the San Francisco Bay Area's
legends – vocalist Nate Pruitt, and pianist and composer Arthur Junker. Michael
has since won over listeners at venues as diverse as the Fairmont in downtown
San Jose, the Mudd Room in Saratoga, Wente Vineyards in Livermore, and Yoshi's
in San Francisco.
"Legendary Bay Area guitarist" (Pacifica
Tribune), Ed Johnson is synonymous with gentle guitar strings and the exotic
sounds of bossa nova. With seven recording projects and multiple producer’s
credits, Ed's mastery of the Brazilian genre has won over fans and airplay
worldwide. Ed's road into the life of a musician was a natural progression. His
mom often played piano and sang standards while his dad would 'scratch' along
on the fiddle or the ukulele. Ed began performing with Michael in 2013. As a
duo, their sound is evocative of Francis Albert Sinatra & Antônio Carlos
Jobim. Ed also plays his original compositions with Nova Tempo, a Brazilian
jazz ensemble.
