Carbon Leaf's brand of rootsy, Celtic-influenced rock originated in the same Richmond, VA, scene that nurtured Dave Matthews Band, Agents of Good Roots, and Pat McGee Band. Guitarist Terry Clark, vocalist Barry Privett, bassist Jordan Medas, guitarist Carter Gravatt, and drummer Scott Milstead built up a considerable following and were soon releasing albums through their own label. Meander appeared in 1996, with Shadows in the Banquet Hall and Ether-Electrified Porch Music following in quick succession. In 2001, Carbon Leaf debuted a more mature sound with the album Echo Echo and won a Coca-Cola-sponsored unsigned band contest that landed them a performance on the American Music Awards. By this point, Carbon Leaf was also regularly opening shows for adult alternative-friendly acts like DMB, John Mayer, Guster, and David Gray, and the band documented their frequent and vibrant live shows with the 2002 double live set 5 Alive!Indian Summer appeared in 2004. Issued through Vanguard, it was Carbon Leaf's first recording for any label other than their own, and the strongest example yet of their polite, astute, and engaging sound. It was followed in 2006 by Love Loss Hope Repeat. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi
bobonnit - everyone is entitled to their opinion (especially since they are like @$$holes...) but read through the rest of the comments and you will find you are in a distinct minority when it comes to Carbon Leaf. Barry Privett has one of the best voices in folk/rock and imho, the musicianship of this band cannot be beat. Looking forward to the new album (Ghost Dragon Attacks Castle) on 2/19/13
I think they would do well if they went back to their old style, as that sound is now the trend in a lot of the new rock music.

Carbon Leaf is the best ever! You, Pandora, need to update your bio. Their current drummer is Jason Neal and Jon Markel replaced Jordan Mades. This happened many years ago.
I miss old Carbon Leaf. Pre Indian Summer, they were possibly one of the best groups to stand in front of microphones. Indian summer was transitional but everything after they signed is just been mediocre. I can't help but feel that they were touched by the corporate pop bug...I blame the producers. These guys are fully capable of making awesome music, the corporate types need to leave it alone and let them get back to their roots.
Love these guys -- they've gotten me through some rough times. Terrific music, very personal guys who don't mind talking to you after the show. Wish I could hear them more on the radio but I love the small-time feel of their shows.
I'm 57 yrs-old and yet I'm smitten with these guys. A very unique musical style.. .. Good songs, in a variety of styles, nothing too hard rock. Thanks to my daughter for referring me to them. LOVE ,LOSS, HOPE, REPEAT is my favorite album.
I've got it. They remind me of Iron and Wine, not the sound but the songs. I'm not really hearing the Celtic influence. Great lyrics on this and other songs, tho.

Bio definitely could stand an update. The newer members, Jon Markel on Bass and Jason Neal on percussion are brilliant. And they are still very active - recording new material on their own label and touring non-stop. Catch them live if you can , if you can't check out their DVD released May 2011 !!

One of my very favorite bands of the past 6 - 7 years. Put on great shows live, too! Check them out - they tour nearly constantly.
Carbon Leaf is Awesome. They are my 2nd favorite band next to Dave Matthews band. I am happy they are going to be here in Denver Next week i hope to get the time off to go.

This is my favorite band, it's too bad they don't have a bigger following. They put on an amazing show!
Horrible.... sorry this is one of the most vanilla "rock" bands ever.

Carbon Leaf is one of my favorite bands. I have seen them so many times, it boarders on the line of stalking :) If you ever get a chance, go see these guys. They are amazing live, they appreciate their fans and they make great music.

i saw this band in pittsburgh at duquesne with the sk6ers and they rocked
What a GREAT, GREAT, GREAT band with a soothing sound! Great music to hang out to or take a leisurely drive. I've followed them over the years and they are getting better with age. Catch them at a show -- they're even better in person!
They came to Spokane, and I really wanted to see them. Damn the cost of tickets!

"Similar Artists" include Guster, OAR, Rusted Root, Vertical Horizon and Dispatch. They sound more similar to "Great Big Sea" than to "Guster" or "Rusted Root".
excellent group, i love their sound. I really enjoy the celtic folk influence in all forms of music, especially due to my heritage. Would love to see them if they come to San Diego. Good stuff.
