Winner of the $1000 Open Mic Challenge, Carl Anderson returns with his full band, lap steel and all. His songwriting, his voice, his tone, suggest an old soul.

In 2009 he went to Nashville and scored a publishing deal with Ash Street Music. He quit his job as a waiter and threw around the idea of moving to Nashville to write songs full time. While his time in Nashville was in many ways rewarding, he decided that living in Tennessee and writing for the radio inevitably wasn't going to make him truly happy.

After releasing his first solo EP "Twenty-Something Blues" (recorded at Little Rhodie Productions in Crozet, VA) he decided it was time for a full-length record. The recording of "Wolftown" at White Star Sound in Louisa, VA was a culmination of creative and artistic minds working as a single-minded entity, and, together with, Dave Stipe (Little Rhodie Productions), Stewart Myers (engineer and former bass player of Agents of good Roots), Chris Keup (White Star Sound) and several of Charlottesville's best musicians, Carl has created his "dream" record. It's funny, actually. Carl made "Wolftown" with the intention of going back to his roots, but when you Google Wolftown, VA, it's defined as "an unincorporated community in Madison County, VA," meaning that it's not unified and it's not included. When you listen to the record, decide for yourself if both Wolftowns are the same.
