Hailing from North Carolina and active since the 1970s, Jimmy Carpenter is a seasoned musician best known for hits like "Walk Away," "Soul Doctor," and "My Babe." He began his musical journey in childhood on the saxophone before picking up the guitar and diving into performance. Early in his career, he joined the Alka Phonics, a blues band with a rebellious edge, sharing the stage with legends like James Brown.
After the group disbanded in 1987, Carpenter joined The Believers, with whom he performed until 1996, when he transitioned to The Drivers. He toured extensively throughout Europe, sharpening his craft along the way. In 2003, Carpenter parted ways with The Drivers and spent the next decade playing with Walter "Wolfman" Washington, later joining forces with Eric Lindell.
In 2008, he began releasing solo work, which expanded his touring presence and eventually led to a collaboration with Mike Zito in the blues band The Wheel. Carpenter’s wide-ranging experience has taken him to stages like the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and the Bradenton Blues Festival, among others.
Over the years, he’s earned two Blues Music Awards and built an impressive discography that includes Toiling in Obscurity, Walk Away, Plays the Blues, Soul Doctor, The Louisiana Record, and his latest release, Just Got Started.
