About

CLARENCE CARTER IN CONCERT:

Southern blues icon Clarence Carter has been entertaining audiences with his soulful jams, earthy voice, and animated live performances for more than five decades. Carter is known for skillfully blending genuine emotion and ribald wit, and songs like "Patch" and "Strokin'" are as tender as they are fun. At his intimate live performances, Carter relishes the role of emcee, introducing songs with highly personal -- and often hilarious -- anecdotes. Whether he's playing a selection from his late '60s chart run or getting fans dancing with bumping '80s cuts like "Dr. C.C.", Carter always leaves ticket buyers feeling good with his energetic, passionate performances on tour.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Montgomery, Alabama-born Clarence Carter was blind from birth, and he used music as a form of expression during his childhood. He taught himself guitar by listening to the blues records of John Lee Hooker and Jimmy Reed, and in college he learned to transcribe chord charts and arrangements in Braille. In 1960 he began performing with fellow singer and classmate Calvin Scott, first under the moniker Clarence & Calvin and later as the C & C Boys. After Scott was seriously injured in a car accident, Carter carried on as a solo act, achieving his first commercial success in 1967 with the single "Tell Daddy". A string of late-'60s R&B hits followed including "Slip Away", "Snatching is Back", and the racy holiday favorite "Back Door Santa". Carter's commercial success continued into the mid-'70s before the rise of disco led to a wane in sales, but he enjoyed another surge in popularity during the '80s with a funky new sound and raunchy underground favorites like "Strokin'" and "Dr. C.C.". He continued to release albums steadily over the next three decades, touring extensively both in the US and abroad. A veteran performer with more than 30 albums under his belt, Carter continues to wow fans with career-spanning performances on tour.

    Blues Concert

    by ReddyRedd on 4/16/18Bon Secours Wellness Arena - Greenville

    Awesome show!! Everyone showed out except for Pokey, who sung his songs by recording. Why didn't he bring his band like everyone else? When i pay my money to see someone, i want to see a band....i can play the recording at home!! This was the only disappointment i had. Great show!

    Great Show

    by hAPPYALLDATIME on 4/16/18Bon Secours Wellness Arena - Greenville

    It was a wonderful show but I recommend a few things that would make it better. The show felt rushed with the artist. Also we had floor seats that were hooked together and that was very uncomfortable. There was no standing room, if you wanted to try to move to the music. We would have been better off sitting in the regular chairs. So if you could make some adjustments it would be better so we can actually move around alittle.

    by Thickem17 on 4/16/18Bon Secours Wellness Arena - Greenville

    I was disappointed in theodis and Sir Charles Sang like he was being rushed and he changed the rhythm of his songs but I had a nice time.

    The venue is comfortable and caters to all. I like the ample space in front of the seats for ease of passing others and dancing. I love events at the Ritz.

    Blues is Alright

    by Ladyzshy on 3/3/14Murat Theatre at Old National Centre - Indianapolis

    The show was very very good. All performers were great. There was no down time. The emcee kept things fun and lively between acts. The audience was all the way live and into it. I love those kind of audiences. I had so much fun. Danced most of the night. I will definitely be there if they come back again next year.
