CARTER’S WINDOW

Four musos present their unique sound at Yossi’s Moroccan in Glenwood on February 21.

Headed up by lead singer and acoustic guitarist, Russel Braum, Carter’s Window has taken the interest of all who have had the pleasure of hearing the unique sound of four musos with very different influences ranging from Jazz to Alternate Rock to Old School Rock ‘n Roll. Carter’s Window blends these styles to create something fresh and exciting for the ever-growing South African Music scene.

Carter’s Window has recently finished recording their debut album, About a Girl. All the material is written by Russel Braum and is reworked to give each instrument space to explore every musical possibility. The album will take listeners on a journey through love songs to no one with Beautiful and Where You Are, to stories of life as told in A Million Faces and the title track About a Girl. Carter’s Window is currently promoting the album with gigs in and around Durban.

Apart from Russel Braum, the band consists of Greg Bedford (lead guitar), Paul Cassels (bass & backing vocals) and Ian Jeffreys (drums). The band was formed in early 2008 and has quickly grown from strength to strength, playing to audiences at various venues around all Durban. The growing popularity of the band and constant requests for something for the fans to take home is what pushed Carter’s Window to record their album as early as a year into their career, and fans will not be disappointed!

Carter’s Window appears at Yossi’s Moroccan in Glenwood on February 21 at 15h00. Entry fee R40.
