Michael Carpenter’s career continues to evolve and take unexpected turns. As a long time respected producer, he continues his 30 year plus career, being one of the most in demand producer/engineer/mixing people in Sydney, and an early adopter of Dolby Atmos mixing processes.
As an artist though, he continues to evolve and search for avenues for releasing his music. A prolific writer and collaborator, his main focus these days is on country music. Recent successful collaborations include Carpenter Caswell, with the legendary Allan Caswell, his new, traditional country band, Michael Carpenter and The Banks Brothers, who have released three albums, and a live EP since starting together in 2020 - resulting in multiple Golden Guitar nominations, and his long term project, The April Family, who have released 2 albums and an EP, and a whole bunch of recent singles since 2016. His latest project, Michael Carpenter and the CRC (Country Rock Collective), is a collaboration with a host of the most well-respected sidemen and artists in the Australian Country Music industry. The debut single "Short Time Livin'" features performances by Josh Schuberth (drums), Zac Watson (bass), Zane Banks (banjo), Damian Cafarella (electric and acoustic guitars), Jy-Perry Banks (pedal steel) and Sophie Jones (harmony vocals). Carpenter handles acoustic guitar and lead vocals. Recording of the album is well under way.
With around 38 album releases as a solo artist or collaborator since his debut release in 1999, he shows no sign of slowing down as both a writer and collaborator!
