Carter Brady is a New York-based multi-instrumentalist musician & songwriter who continues to gain wide recognition and following for his original alternative rock performance & album releases. Raised in Pelham, NY, Brady writes all of the music & records all or most of the instruments on his songs. His new & refreshing indie rock sound is a self-reflective 90's-centric alt rock mixed with modern American indie pop, complemented by big guitars & drums, and versatile & interchangeably powerful, raspy vocals. His critically acclaimed self-released album ‘Shopping Cart’ bends genres & touches on a wide variety of emulations of rock from the past several decades. Since breaking into the NYC music scene in 2022, Brady and his extremely talented live band have headlined shows and packed his fans into iconic venues like Mercury Lounge, The Bowery Electric, The Bitter End & Arlene’s Grocery. ‘Shopping Cart’ has been a hit on the radio circuit, with the album making it into the Top 100 at #93 on College Radio Charts and spent 13 weeks on Roots Music Report's Top 50 Charts, peaking at #18 for Alternative Rock Albums, #32 for Rock Albums, and #19 for New York Albums. Songs like “Invincible,” “We’re Talking,” and “Go Home” were voted as a Top 5 Finalist, Semi-Finalist, and Runner Up Finalist in the Rock Category of Song of the Year’s 2024 Song & Lyric Writing Competition. Brady is also the rare independent artist with the determination to produce a music video for every song on 'Shopping Cart.' The music video for concept track "Grocery Store" was chosen among other big-name artists for Berlin Music Video Awards' 2025 Silver Screenings Selection, and the ‘Shopping Cart’ videos have attracted huge viewership on YouTube. Carter has received positive recognition from many seasoned music industry vets, including Grammy-nominated producers and musicians – including former Foo Fighters & current Sunny Day Real Estate drummer William Goldsmith (who Carter also takes drum lessons from) and collaborated with Nirvana In Utero touring cellist Lori Goldston, whose signature cello sound can be heard on the standout track “Invincible” from ‘Shopping Cart’. If you crave original alternative rock with outstanding songwriting and musicianship, you can find Carter Brady on all the major platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube) and, better yet, catch one of his high-energy live shows in the New York area.
