Dave Carter
Dave Carter (August 13, 1952 – July 19, 2002) was an American folk singer-songwriter who described his style as "post-modern mythic American folk music."〔http://www.itp.edu/currents/articles/alanlomax.php〕 He was one half of the duo Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer, who were heralded as the new "voice of modern folk music" in the months before Carter's unexpected death in July 2002.〔Alarik, Scott, "New songs from old places: Dave Carter, Tracy Grammer, and Joan Baez," ''Boston Globe'' September 9, 2001 and reprinted in ''Deep Community'', pgs 196-7, Black Wolf Press, 2003.〕 They were ranked as number one on the year-end list for "Top Artists" on the ''Folk Music Radio Airplay Chart'' for 2001 and 2002, and their popularity has endured in the years following Carter's death.〔(Annual Folk Airplay Summaries ), Compiled by Richard Gillmann of KBCS from FolkDJ-L playlists.〕 Joan Baez who went on tour with the duo in 2002 spoke of Carter's songs in the same terms that she once used to promote a young Bob Dylan:
"There is a special gift for writing songs that are available to other people, and Dave's songs are very available to me. It's a kind of genius, you know, and Dylan has the biggest case of it. But I hear it in Dave's songs, too.〔
Carter's songs were often noted for their poetic imagery, spirituality and storytelling while retaining connection to the country music of his southern American upbringing. Carter's memory has been kept alive by his many admirers, most notably his former partner. Tracy Grammer has continued to introduce previously unrecorded songs and recordings that the duo were working on prior to Carter's death.
== Early life and education ==
Dave Carter was born in Oxnard, California. His father was a mathematician and a petroleum engineer and his mother was a science teacher and a charismatic Christian.〔Bulla, David, (''Music Matters'' Review ): "A 'Tanglewood' Music Feast--Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer", 2000.〕 Carter was raised in Oklahoma and Texas and would draw on his rural upbringing in many of his songs. He studied classical piano from age 4 to about age 12, when he took up guitar. At 17, he left home to hitchhike around the country, especially the Midwestern United States (Great Plains area). After graduating with degrees in music (cello) and fine arts from the University of Oklahoma, he moved to Portland, Oregon, where he continued his education at Portland State University, earning a degree in mathematics. He began an advanced degree in mathematics, but a personal epiphany led him to realize that this was not to be his field.〔Watroba, Matt, "Sing Out! Spotlight: Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer," ''Sing Out!'' Vol 45 # 1, Spring 2001〕 He went on to study what he called "the psychology of mystical experience" at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in Palo Alto and the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco,〔 and worked as an embedded systems programmer for several years before taking up music full-time in the mid-1990s. Carter was greatly influenced by mythologist Joseph Campbell, who visited his college, and American mystic Carlos Castaneda. He was also influenced by the American landscape, Arthurian mythology, the environment, and transcendental psychology.
