Carl
Storie
Carl's
career began in Indiana at the age of 15, but although
he moved to LA in the mid 80's and worked the club
scene which led to a recording contract and a move
to London, he has always considered Indiana
his "home!" He has recorded numerous albums,
cds, jingles, and commercials, however, he will always
be best known for his Billboard hit, "Dancin' Shoes."
The
Chosen Few...Faith Band ...and as the original front man
for The Alligator Brothers , Carl led the band to unprecented
regional fame and demand. His colorful career spans the
generation gap and has brought him the wisdom and sophistication
to become the entertainer he is today. His live show includes
material from his CD, "Faith Band" originals, and a variety
of top hits from the 60's to today!
Carl
is a devoted husband and father. He feels he has been extremely
blessed and participates in a variety of charity events,
but concentrates on events dedicated to helping children.
Currently, he is spending his time developing new material,
promoting his CD, and performing live. |
