DAVE'S DIARY - 15 DECEMBER 2003 - CARTER & CARTER
CARTER & CARTER & COGGAN
Victorian
duo Carter & Carter have good reason to believe God will be on their
side in 2004.
David and Merelyn Carter have again made the finals of the 32nd Australian
Country Music Awards.
 |
Their
single Candle Light And Kisses won a Gold Guitar in 2003. And in 2004 their finalists include a vocal collaboration on 'Busy Man' with Wagga born singer-songwriter Darren Coggan who was the male lead in the Ginger Meggs stage show. The song joined fellow finalists 'Dancing Shoes' and 'Lead Me Home' as one of five singles from their second album 'Every Minute.' Coggan cut solo albums before his stage role lead to his teaming with Carter & Carter on a song that topped national country airplay charts. |

| The
duo's album, 'Every Minute, was launched at a lavish free show
at Tamworth on Wednesday January 22, 2003. It was the culmination of a hectic year of touring that has taken them as far afield as New Zealand and Norfolk Island and all states of Australia. The Ringwood based duo epitomise the Aussie work ethic with a stream of endless touring to showcase their original songs. Community and Christian radio has given wide exposure to their catchy originals 'Dance Away The Night and 'A Little Place Called Love' from their debut CD. |

'You Were
There' - written by hotshot guitarists Stephen Bruton and Al Anderson
of NRBQ and Carlene Carter fame - also received wide airplay.
'Easy Making Love' - a single from 'Every Minute' - also
scored two Gold Guitar nominations at the 2002 Gold Guitar awards.
The duo's energetic work earned them a dozen awards in 2001 and nominations
for another nine in 2002.
They made a video clip for their single 'Lead Me Home' and won
deserved exposure on the CMC music show on the Austar regional pay TV

are few local cyber country fans who don't know of Carter & Carter.
