Col was born the son of a drover spending his childhood on the stockroutes of Northwest NSW & Southern QLD. His father was also a singer & saxaphone player in big bands. Col was bitten by the performing bug at 8 years old when he sang "Pub With No Beer" at one of his Dads parties & got paid by the party goers. Col started his professional career when he was 18 years old in Moree playing guitar & singing in a Rock & Roll band. He moved to Sydney and formed the legendary band called "Rahzoo" which was extremely successful playing at pubs & clubs across Australia up to 5 days a week, mainly Rock & Country Rock for 14 years. The band also backed and supported many well known artists. Rahzoo released a single which had airplay on major stations in Sydney. He took a break in 1987 to concentrate on his business & family. He gradually got back into the music industry donating his talents to Charity Shows in 2003. Col recorded a demo CD in 2005 which has had a lot of airplay on community stations which led him to record this latest album "Long Way Home" at Red Lantana Studios with his mate Al Morgan (son of the well known Chad Morgan & one of the best lead guitarists around). Currently when Col is not doing solo work his band "Col Carter plus The Firm" have been wowing audiences at various pub venues with their vast repertoire appealing to all ages. They recently headlined "The Cunamulla Fella Festival" & "Wauchope Country Music Festival".

Hey Thanks for the friendship and Kind Comments. Im glad you like the Music!! we'll be posting some new material in the next few weeks so keep listening out!! Enjoy your week and take care :) JP
Glad you had a good trip. I got a start on your song but have been distracted the last few weeks trying not to starve! Things are not going too well for me here in Orlando, sad to say. The economy has been a factor but, sheesh, what does one have to do to get a few gigs in this town!? I've been here for 12 years and '09 has by far been the most frustrating. Hopefully things will change soon or I'm gonna explode! Hey, maybe I should move to Australia. Peace, Bob
Hey buddie, from the US! Noticed you haven't been on line lately, hope everything is OK and that you are doing well. Take care my friend and write when you can. Have a great one. Jim
Hello my good buddie, from the US! I have been off line because my computer went south. I borrowed on so I am back in action. Hope you are doing well and rocking the house. Have a great weekend and Keep In Touch. Jim
Hi Col, It's fall and the season is here! The leaves are changing and the nights are in the 30s. Hope you're having a great time and enjoying life to the fullest! All Peace & Love Lee
