Andrew Carlton Concert/Tour Dates
| Band Members: Andrew Carlton | | Bio: For this talented new star, it's been a long time coming. Before tackling music fulltime, Andrew was raised in Knoxville. Carlton earned a Bachelor's Degree in Communications at the University of Tennessee. During his time there, Carlton gained music experience as a Top 40 DJ at the local radio station and leading worship for UT's chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Carlton also participated in various entertainment roles with the school's championship football team. On a national level, Carlton made a name for himself as the featured vocalist of various swing projects.
Growing up with a father who sang in churches, music has always been a part of Andrew's life. "I've been singing ever since I can remember, never the serious outlook that I take on now, but just enjoying music."
A genuinely original Christian recording artist, Andrew Carlton will celebrate the release of Falling In, his debut project on Flying Leap Records May 18, 2004.
Known for his soulful voice and passionate stage performances, Andrew demonstrates he is one of contemporary Christian music's truly great artists. Having shared the stage with artists such as MercyMe, Michael W. Smith, Rebecca St. James, Jars of Clay, Newsboys, Audio Adrenaline, and countless others, Andrew Carlton is poised to take his message of faith to the world.
Not long after his salvation in middle school, Andrew Carlton recognized that he had a fire inside of him that could not be quenched except with singing about Christ, the decision he'd made, and the joy that comes along with that. "I made the conscious decision to focus my eyes only on God, not on the music industry, but on pursuing my ministry for Him. God is faithful. I've watched as He has slowly brought everything together."
When Andrew moved to Nashville after his graduation to engage in Christian music as a full time endeavor, the audience listened. Andrew's demo of "Hold Me Up" entered WAY FM's Buzz Cut Competition, a radio battle between two singles, where the fans vote for the victor and the champion returns the following night to defend the title.
While Andrew's single went up against new releases from artists such as Steven Curtis Chapman and Rebecca St. James, "Hold Me Up" defied the odds and won the contest nine nights in a row. WAY FM declared the single undefeated and Andrew Carlton joined the short list of artists who have achieved WAY FM's Buzz Cut Competition "Hall of Fame," which includes DC Talk, the Newsboys, and Kirk Franklin.
