In addition to her long acting career, Ms. Carter has the distinction of producing and starring in five highly-rated network television specials, several of which were Emmy nominated.
But her roots remained with her music. “Singing is in my soul”, says Ms. Carter. “I was on the road performing in my teens and travelled from the Catskills to Las Vegas, and from San Francisco to the saloons in Texas.” An engaging storyteller, she takes her audience on a journey where her life story and her music intertwine. Though Ms. Carter continued to act in films and television, when she had children she left the road to raise her young family. She returned to live performing in 2006, appearing on the London stage with an acclaimed star turn in Chicago. In 2007 she started touring again in venues across the country with her band of Nashville all-stars. She has brought her concert to major venues across the country, including at the Kennedy Center and here at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York.
