John Carter Joins Roster of Stars at Military Event
Athens, AL…..John Carter is no stranger to the stage, especially in Nashville, Tennessee, where crowds flock to here him play! But on Monday, May 5th, he’ll entertain the military from across the US as they arrive for the 18th annual Military Bass Tournament in Byrdstown, Tennessee!
The military anglers, as well as the great folks in the surrounding area, are in for a real treat when entertainers from across the US take the stage to entertain with song and dance in a USO Show planned just for them.
John Carter’s dream has not always been to excel as a country music artist. Towering at 6’5, his original dream was to play football, and the Marine Corps offered an opportunity to continue his passion after high school. “You might say that my ego got the best of me. The recruiter dared me by saying I could play if I was good enough, and the next thing I knew I was signing papers.”
Throughout his 10 years in the military, John has had a range of positive experiences. While aboard ship as a helicopter door gunner for six months, John spent his off-duty hours teaching himself to play guitar. “As a kid, my dad played the guitar; but I was always intimidated to try it. I guess I didn’t think I could do it. It was embarrassing to learn to play the guitar on a ship. I would stay awake late at night and practice in the hanger so I wouldn’t bother anyone. I thought of myself as that next door neighbor learning to play the trombone.”
