<br />
<br />
Have you heard of this guitar wiz from East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania that goes by the name of Rob Carlton? If not, get ready for the blazing hot sound of RC as he excites the world with his phenomenal playing skills. Originally from Long Island, NY, this guitarist is no stranger to the music game as he has played in many bands over the years. One band in particular, Empyre, helped Rob gain more notoriety and exposure early on his career. This band had the pleasure of opening up for and touring with such acts as: Cinderella, Zebra, Blue Oyster Cult among others. Fun times for Carlton & company during those Empyre years, but the journey was far from over. <br />
<br />
Three albums later after leaving Empyre, Rob decided to start a new band titled Sevenfold. He would go on to tour big Christian festivals such as SuperFest traveling all over the United States. From there, it was time for Rob to make some music of his own as a recording solo artist. <br />
<br />
The first solo album recorded would be called A Time Such As This followed by Unshackled and finally Beautiful Collision. His most recent record, Beautiful Collision, was released in 2009 and offers up some of Rob Carlton’s finest work yet. On this cut, Carlton plays his guitar with such ease and precision. You can really sense that Rob was meant to pick up a guitar at the age of 12 and play on. He has a natural ability and an incredible talent that can be appreciated by millions everywhere. <br />
<br />
Standing in the shadows of his own personal guitar idol, Jimi Hendrix, Rob has thrived at perfecting his music throughout the years. Living up to the reputation and greatness of Jimi Hendrix may not be an easy task but I would say Rob Carlton is doing a pretty damn good job in his own right. I honestly think Jimi would be proud of Rob’s accomplishments as a guitar player and I feel RC would receive a Jimi Hendrix seal of approval. <br />
<br />
Rob is representing the instrument very well and for all you inspiring guitarists out there; you might want to take notes because this man is the real deal. <br />
<br />
Dedication is a major factor in the life and times of Rob Carlton. When he was younger, he would play his red Stella guitar until his fingers bled for crying out loud! If that’s not dedication & commitment, then I don’t know what is! This incredible will and strife to want to do nothing else but hit those strings continues on today for Rob. This musician has such tenacity and drive when it comes to picking up his guitar and playing the hell out of it. To RC, the guitar is more than just a stringed instrument; it is a crucial part of who he is. Rob is so consumed with his trusty sidekick that in a sense he becomes one with the almighty guitar. <br />
<br />
The guitar completes him and he completes the guitar as they live happily ever after. Rob Carlton himself said it best when he stated during our interview for Skopemag.com that: "I can see myself someday like 95 sitting with a lot of guitars playing my Taylor guitar just enjoying the peace guitar can bring to you in this sometimes crazy world". This guy truly loves playing and I don’t think there is anything that can stop this intense passion. There is no holding back Carlton as he rolls forward and unleashes his insane skills for the whole wide world to hear. <br />
<br />
Over time, RC has accomplished a lot as a music artist and also picked up some well-deserved achievements along the way. Rob has been a member of ASCAP (The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) in which he has won many awards for. Carlton has endorsement deals with: GHS Strings, Morley Pedals, Halo Guitars, Specraflex Cables and Rocktron Amps & Effects. Rob has also been featured in such magazines as: Guitar World, Guitar Player, Burn, Kerrang!, Circus & Good Times. <br />
<br />
Rob has a 2010 tour kicking off in April in NYC at Uncle Mike’s and UC Lounge. He will also be playing at the big NAMM show in California and he "hopes to see everyone there!" A lot of excitement surrounds this artist as the Rob Carlton buzzzz is about to blow up big time. It seems that Rob’s "future’s so bright he’s just gotta wear shades!" Rob’s very first album was titled Going All The Way and the latest release titled Beautiful Collision makes perfect sense now. <br />
<br />
Carlton knew all along that he, his music and his guitar were going all the way to the top by way of a beautiful collision of sound, heart, devotion & determination. This all adds up to the present status of Rob Carlton blending together his rock, classic rock grooves, blues and acoustic jams. Don Henley once sang "All She Wants To Do Is Dance" and now I say All He Wants To Do Is Play…Play. If you’re not a fan already, then you surely will be after hearing the amazing solos and sensational guitar presence. <br />
<br />
You can purchase all of Rob’s music through cdbaby.com and iTunes. There are also special deals offered exclusively through www.skopemag.com such as: The Beautiful Collision Package. This package includes a signed copy of the CD, official Rob Carlton Pic and a signed Rob Carlton poster all for 20 bucks! Check out this sweet deal for yourself at: http://skopemag.com/2009/09/18/rob-carlton-beautiful-collision-package. <br />
<br />
Rob is also offering up his own Extreme Guitar Lessons to all the avid learners out there and you can find more info here: http://skopemag.com/2009/11/03/rob-carlton-extreme-guitar-lessons. You can find out more about this excellent guitarist through these helpful sites: www.jango.com/music/rob+carlton, www.myspace.com/robcarlton and www.myspace.com/rob_1281967. All I have left to say is that Rob Carlton is the real deal guitar hero for 2010 & beyond as he looks to become a household name.<br />

I play morley because they are the best and they sound the best all the way round I've tried the others they dont match up. If you play guitar you owe it to yourself to play a morley once you try one you will be hooked.<br />

Joe Bouchard, one of the original members of the classic rock group Blue Oyster Cult, will appear at the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg today along with the Rob Carlton Band, performing rock originals.<br />
<br />
"Blue Oyster Cult will probably be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame pretty soon. They're the ones that played 'Don't Fear the Reaper' and 'Godzilla,' which they used on the Autotrader TV commercials," said Rob Carlton.<br />
<br />
IF YOU GO<br />
<br />
WHAT: Joe Bouchard Band; opening act, the Rob Carlton Band<br />
WHEN: 8 p.m. today<br />
WHERE: Sherman Theater, 524 Main St., Stroudsburg<br />

INFORMATION: (570) 420-2808<br />
<br />
WEB SITES: <a href="http://www.shermantheater.com/">http://www.shermantheater.com/</a> , <a href="http://www.blueoystercult.com/">http://www.blueoystercult.com/</a> and <a href="http://www.joebouchard.com/">http://www.joebouchard.com/</a> <br />
<br />
Carlton, an East Stroudsburg resident, first met Bouchard while he was working on a CD at the Boogie Hotel, a recording studio in New York City. Carlton and his band, Empyre, were recording there in the '90s at the same time as many of the household names of rock were using the studios.<br />
<br />
"We had a band in the '90s, and we were looking to get something done. We wound up at the Boogie Hotel. Springsteen played there, and Foghat, lots of others. Joe (Bouchard) used the studio, too, and he was looking to produce some bands. He called and said he wanted to produce us. We did a CD and played the tri-state area, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania," Carlton said, adding that his band opened for Blue Oyster Cult a number of times during that period and has since worked with Cinderella and other national rock acts.<br />
<br />
Blue Oyster Cult, who once toured with Black Sabbath, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin, has continued performing, having undergone numerous changes in personnel since its inception with Joe and Albert Bouchard on bass and drums. Most of the original members are either still in that group or are pursuing careers in music that run the gamut from producing and studio recording to teaching and publishing music and instructional books.<br />
<br />
Bouchard spends considerable time composing and arranging, and has recently appeared with other members of BOC, Guns and Roses and other current rock musicians.<br />
<br />
Carlton is also a composer and long-time member of the American Society of Composers, Arrangers and Composers.<br />
<br />
"It's kinda cool to be playing with local musicians; it gives the music a little something extra. When we write songs, everybody brings something to the table; it all goes around and everybody has input; the drummer might say he wants to do something here, or the bass player something there. It's collaborative," Carlton said.<br />
<br />
Carlton's bandmates are Freddy Wales on guitar and vocals, Rubin Ariola on percussion and vocals, Scott Valentine on bass and Donovan O'Brien on lead vocals. Carlton said that Ariola's roots as a jazz and Latin percussionist add a different dimension from the standard rock-'n'-roll drumming, and Wales and he take turns with leads and back-up during the guitar breaks to give the band variety in sound.<br />
<br />
Carlton has played with Robin Trower, has been cited in Guitar Player magazine and Guitar World and also has numerous endorsements from GHS strings, Spectre-flex cables. He was also named "Guitar World Home Town Hero" in the '90s, and his music is often played in the international markets of Europe and Japan.<br />
<br />
The Rob Carlton Band has produced a three-song EP available through MySpace, and has continued working on a CD Carlton hopes will be out before the end of the year.<br />
<br />
"We've been working with Sound Line Studios in Canadensis, where we did the first three songs. We have tracks on two more and hope to add another five before the end of the year," Carlton said, adding that the recordings have generated interest at the national level that may make an independent production using Disc Makers or Oasis unnecessary.<br />
<br />
<br />
"With some of the interest we've been getting, we may not have to put it out ourselves," he said.Hoghoneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14069284367084663278noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369967933670881120.post-49720793380156981332009-11-01T09:47:00.000-08:002009-11-01T09:50:34.851-08:00Rob Carlton on Gary In The MorningHey everyone.<br />

<div>Welcome to another edition of "8 Questions with......" my ongoing interview series with the wonderful people that live here on my MySpace page.</div><div> Feel free to leave feedback,kudos or better yet,SUBSCRIBE!</div><div> </div><div>First off,thank you all for your support on the Debbie Rochon interview! Your support just kicks ass!</div><div>I know this series is doing well when I get a pretty renowned MySpace blogger not only dropping comments but then adding the person as a friend...so,thank you Kat,you rock!</div><div> </div><div>As many of you by now know,I was a booking agent for many years in California. I saw a lot of great artists and I always respected any musician who could put thier gear in a van and cross the country touring. They would print up some shirts,some vinyl and CDs and play a line of small clubs with no crowd and low pay.</div><div>Indy music has always been my favorite and I guess thats one of the best things about MySpace,the chance to explore a new voice making some very exciting music...</div><div> This is how I met Rob Carlton...I don't know who added who,I just know I enjoy his music and his outlook on life. When I asked for this interview,he was very kind to answer and say "yeah,lets do it!".You could almost hear the excitement coming thru his email. This is the kind of energy I enjoy I seeing both in my music listening and creating something new and fun!</div><div> </div><div>So relax,turn off the Oscars (go,Tilda!),pop some corn and enjoy 8 Questions with........guitarist Rob Carlton!</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>1. How did you discover music? What was the "moment"you knew you wanted to play music?</div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>About the age of 12 I had heard some Jimi Hendrix music and was changed for life. I knew at first listen to songs like "Purple Haze" that was it for me. I had to find out about his sound,his effects and his amps. I was one what seemed like a musical mission,or if you like,a quest.</strong></span></div><div> </div><div>2. What is harder to write for,a guitar or a bass part?</div><div><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>I think writing a bass part is harder then guitar. Writing for guitar comes easy for me.Trying to put a interesting bass line for me seems like a challenge. But of course this varies with each individual musican.</strong></span></div><div><br />
3. Who are in your opinion,the three greatest guitar players ever and give 2 reasons apiece what made them so great.</div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Jimi Hendrix- the sound from his effects were amazing, it took the electric guitar to new heights. Also his live shows set the stage for what was to come.</strong></span></div><div><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Carlos Santana-unreal tones and a very smart songwriter.His bringing into the mix different songwriters to highlight his songs, when you hear a Santana song you know who is playing the guitar! His guitar playing is so singular,even the average music listener KNOWS when when Carlos is playing,no matter who might be singing...</strong></span></div><div><span style="font-size: small;"><strong> I'm adding a singer the same way for my live shows and this will be featured on the new CD I'm releasing later this year. </strong></span></div><div><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Robin Trower- Some say he's a Hendrix clone but i think his sound is vastly different. His chords are very interesting for a rock player and also he has also used great singers like Santana. Robin recorded my favorite CD of all time, "Bridge of Sigh".</strong></span></div><div><br />
4.As a real guitar whiz...what is your take on "air guitar" and the new "Guitar Hero" video game?</div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size: small;"><strong> I think its great! I'm so happy the guitar is big again - guitar solos are back! What it does is let the housewife down the street be a guitar hero! Its good for the Rob Carlton band as well. Air guitar seems to be cool at the clubs as well, its all part of this guitar thing going on right now makes me smile. Just think of it this way...if someone enjoys the reaction they get from air guitar or a guitar game..perhaps that will lead them to actually picking a guitar for real!</strong></span></div><div><br />
5. You recently appeared in Guitar Magazine....how did that come about?</div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Ok it all started out as a dream at a young age. I never gave up on that dream no matter what happen in my life,persistence pays off if you have that dream. Never give up! Now GHS Corp., the string company has signed me to endorse thier products,so be on the lookout for the Rob Carlton Band to be on their website soon.</strong></span></div><div><br />
6. Tell us about your town and local music scene,what makes it stand out or suck the big one?</div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>I live in a town where the music scene is small but tight,once you get out there,play some shows and support other bands, you're in. I have to plug this local music paper,Nemo, they really do a great job for local musicians here. Also the Pennslyanna Musician mag. I think the scene is growing which is a good thing.</strong></span></div><div><br />
7. Do you like structure in your guitar playing or could you sit in with a "jam" band and play whatever strikes your fancy?</div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size: small;"><strong> I think I'm most comfortable just fitting in as i love to jam! As for structure, my new band has helped me with that. I added a 2nd guitarist to my live shows - I think everyone will love that because what you get on the new CD, you will hear live as well, if you're a guitar fan you will be well pleased.</strong></span></div><div><br />
8. What do you like BEST and LEAST about playing guitar?</div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>What I like best I think is my slow lead and my bends. I thank Guitar Player Magazine for calling them thrilling, I do also some acoustic 12 string on the new CD using my Taylor guitar which I love. I think its a side of me of people have not heard yet.</strong></span></div><div><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>What I like least well I have to say I'm pleased at my sound at this stage of my life. Line 6 amps have alot to do with this,so I guess what I'm saying is I'm pretty happy at this moment but I am always looking to improve my playing.</strong></span></div><div> </div><div>9. You have well over 1,300 MySpace friends/fans,how has MySpace helped you the most?</div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Well my MySpace page landed me a deal with a major mangement company, Omni Music Management. It also helped I think with connecting me with Guitar Player and put me in touch with fans all over the world including japan! I have 2 sites up, one with over 1300 friends/fans and a new one with over 1700 and there will soon be a official site up very soon as well so you can find out when we tour and all live shows,including how you can buy the new Rob Carlton CD.</strong></span><br />
<br />
10. Which of your friends will comment first on this interview?</div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Thats hard to say,most likely my guitar students or the housewife down the street ha .... just like to say one thing,while everything seems to have been done before I'm just trying to add something to the world of guitar, make it real and most of all,make music from my heart.</strong></span></div><div><strong><span style="font-size: small;"></span></strong> </div><div><strong><span style="font-size: small;"></span></strong> </div><div><strong><span style="font-size: small;">To add Rob as a Friend:</span></strong></div><div><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;"><strong><a href="http://www.myspace.com/rob_1281967" style="color: #003399; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; text-decoration: underline;"><u>http://www.myspace.com/rob_1281967</u></a></strong></span></div>Hoghoneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14069284367084663278noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369967933670881120.post-78107954685238220032009-10-13T22:10:00.000-07:002009-10-13T22:10:00.634-07:00A Look Back...Review...Check it out<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px;"></span><br />

Sharing His Inspiration - With A Guitar</td></tr>
</tbody></table><br />
Guitarist Robert Carlton's first solo project, <i>A Time Such As This,</i> is an all instrumental release of songs ranging from rock, jazz-flavored rock and electric blues. Containing sixteen tracks, the CD is virtually 100% improvisational in nature. Carlton jams over grooves; he jams over chord progressions; he jams over arpeggiated passages; he jams over riffs. Although there are moments of melodic forays, there really isn't one melody on the CD that you can hang your hat on. As a result, <i>A Time Such As This</i> will appeal to fans of free-wheeling, off-the-cuff guitar playing. We'd love to see Carlton take a more structured and ambitious approach to his next recording project.<br />
<br />
<img align="right" alt="pic" height="96" hspace="10" src="http://www.guitarnine.com/image/undiscov18e2b.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" vspace="10" width="96" />Robert, a seven time ASCAP songwriter award winner, has been featured in many publications worldwide since the beginning of his career in 1986. In his early years, he played with the rock band Empyre, which toured with groups such as Cinderella and Blue Oyster Cult. In 1992, Carlton decided that he wanted his music to have meaning beyond just the moment. Robert said of that time, "The Lord touched me and encouraged me to bring my music to a hurting world that needs Jesus Christ in their lives." Since that time, he has worked with Christian rock groups such as Sevenfold and Corban.<br />
<br />
Carlton hopes to share his inspiration with others. "I hope and pray through my music, people's relationship with the Lord will become stronger," he states in his biography.Hoghoneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14069284367084663278noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369967933670881120.post-80804637981838273322009-10-13T22:08:00.000-07:002009-10-13T22:08:48.116-07:00Out of the Past....A TIME SUCH AS THIS<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px;">A TIME SUCH AS THIS<br />

<br />
You won't find much about this guy on the Web, but Rob Carlton has been displaying his extraordinary guitar talents for quite a while. He first played to admiring crowds in the Heavy Metal band Empyre, who touring with the legendary Blue Oyster Cult. He then went on to play with Christian Rock groups Sevenfold and Corban.<br />
<br />
Choosing the new Christian Indie label, "Higher Rock Music", Rob has now released his first solo project: "A Time Such as This". Rock? Jazz? Blues? This instrumental guitar masterpiece has it all! As you listen, a rich tapestry of sound unfolds... Ranging from driving, fast-moving pieces; to slower, melodic numbers; there's a powerful, hypnotic flow of energy right through from track 1 to 16. Each track has the strength to stand alone, but together they form a truly inspirational whole.<br />
<br />
Rob wrote the music and plays all the guitars, but is joined by Mike Digeronimo on drums, Adam Pine on bass and Martin Herdter on keyboards.<br />
<br />
There's 45 minutes of very enjoyable listening - but you can just set your machine onto auto repeat play, for a continuous stream of rock that just flows on through the night - getting better every time you hear it! It may be instrumental, but this carefully crafted CD is definitely NOT just background listening! You can't help but be moved and wonder, how's Rob going to top this?<br />
<br />

<br />
Rob Carlton grew up on Long Island in New York where he was surronunded by many musicisnas who would rent roons in his partents 16th century home. Rob was first introduced to guirtar and songwirting at the early age of 12, reeiving some of his first lessons from one of the boarding musicians. <br />
<br />
It turns out the boarding house arrangement played in Rob's favor giving him the chance to meet guitar players and songwriters who worked with The Beach Boys and Alice Cooper as well as local artists such as John Gatto of The Good Rats, Mark Hitt of Rat Race Choir, and Chris Cardbury who toured with Buzzy Linhart, just to name a few. Rob was inspaired enough by all of these influences to play his guitar all night long while his parents slept soundly. Rob was in several bands as a teenager. His first album, entitled "Going All The Way" was recorded and aproduced by Kewall Records in New York. It was released on SoundScape Long Island which featured the best local New York artists. "Going All The Way" was a college radio hit and became the theme song for a cable TV show hosted by Rose Somma on Long Island.<br />
<br />
Rob has worked on songs with John "The Cat" Gatto and other prominent musicisans and progressively worked his way into the New York music scene. At this time, he formed the group Empyre, which would later bring a lot of attention to Rob. Shortly thereafter, Rob joined ASCAP (The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers). Rob recorded 3 albums with Empyre and opened for and toured with Cinderella, Zebra, Blue Oyster Cult, and played the tri-state area as well with many bands. One fond memory Rob recalls is meeting at a club where his band opened for Ray Gillen and Rondanelli, who toured with Jake E. Lee of Ozzy fame. Rob recalls, "Ray said some kind words to me and I'll never forget that It drives me today to still rock!" Empyre's first album was recorded at Foghats studio in Port Jefferson, New York. The band enlisted the help of 2 additional guitarists: metal king Jack Star of Virgin Steele and Steve Price from Thor. Rob wrote songs with his fellow band mates Mike Kigeronimo, a friend of Richie Blackmore of Deep Purple (drums) and Dave Merkernon (Vocals) and did some of his guitar work on the neve board at Foghats Studio, the same neve board on which John Lennon's album "Double Fantasy" was recorded. The CD was released to the world on a Dutch East Indies Label and received pirplay and a lot of press in Europe and Japan.<br />
<br />
Simultaneously, Rob started working with Bill of Conklin Guitars, appearing in Guitar World ads and other national magazines wuch as Circus, Bum (Japan), and Kerrang! (England). Rob also had endorsements at that time with Dangellico Strings, appeared with Ted Nugent among others in Circus Magazine, and had an article wirtten about him in a Guitar World Magazine for which he became a hometown hero.<br />
<br />
Empyre's success brought another legendary performing artist into Rob's life: Joe Bouchard of Blue Oyster Cult who produced the band's second CD, "No More Running Away." As well as having the CD produced by Joe, Rob recently opened up with Joe and his band the X-Brothers at the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg, PA.<br />
<br />
The final CD for Empyre was titled "I Want More After Empyre," which Rob most certainly got. He formed the band Sevenfold and toured America playing at large Christian festivals such as SuperFest and more as well as receiving attention from Phil Deaggy, who appeared on 2 of Rob's later CDs with Carlton & Paige, which can still be heard on various web sites on the internet.<br />
<br />
It was after this milestone that Rob kicked off his slol career and recorded 3 additional records, the first of which was named "A Time Such As This," mastered by Ty Tabor of Kings X, followed by "Unshackled." and in 2009, :Beautiful Collision."<br />
<br />
Rob has received many quotes from national magazines. 20th Century Guitar said that Jimi Hendrix is alive and well in Robert's music, and Rob was featured in Guitar Player Magazine recently which was a dream come true for him. He recently put together an new band and will release the new product t the world as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
Rob is currently endorsed by Morley Pedals, GHS Strings, Spectraflex Cables, Rocktron Effects and recently signed a deal with Halo Guitars.<br />
<br />
He hopes to do a national tour soon. <br />
