 | Carey Ott lends assist to The Vampire Craze!  Carey Ott writes songs of yearning and wonder. He renders them to their simplest components and delivers them in in a voice full of hope and heartbreak. Like soft bullets they hit you where you live and where you think and where you need to feel not so alone. Such a song is Anyone, which was chosen for the soundtrack to the July 11 episode of the new ABC vampires-among-us series, The Gates. A simple message: "Anyone can...." Positivity, yet delivered in an aching voice that questions the very words as it delivers them. Placed over a lilting finger-style acoustic guitar, you have a song to punctuate a drama of life among the undead. And to send viewers scrambling to Google to type in "The Gates soundtrack Anyone artist" in order to download it so it can remain a part of their lives. Besides the great news about the Gates placement, Carey is embedded in Toronto putting finishing touches on his 20 song Human Heart CD release in the heart the city's historic Kensington Market district at Kensington Sound |  | |||||||||

| About Carey Born and raised in Chicago, Carey Ott has been making important inroads on the Indie scene since moving to Nashville from his hometown Chicago. Carey began his foray into the music world when he picked up his first guitar at the age of seven. The mid-90s saw Carey as front man for Chicago-based Torben Floor. By 1999, the band had called it quits and Carey began focusing on a solo career. Since then, Carey has released numerous tracks and in 2006 Carey released his critically acclaimed "Lucid Dream" CD. Fans of ABC television series "Grey's Anatomy" may be familiar with the "Lucid Dream" track "Am I Just One" featured on the 2006 episode "Tell Me Sweet Little Lies" And consequently two episodes thereafter. Proclaimed by One Time One columnist Joel Armato as possessing "a quality that no amount of marketing could embellish or hide." Carey's music and presence has been compared to likes of Jeff Buckley, Elvis Costello, and even Ray Davies. Stuart Renfro, freelance Chicago scribe, writes, "Carey is a man who works in the shops of melody but isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. Carey Ott writes cinematic music. It's almost like he's shooting little movies on a super 8 camera each time he writes a song… But, perhaps most importantly, when you listen to Carey Ott deliver a song, you can feel the singer sitting right next to you, telling you the latest about some dark little adventure or a blue hole that opened up in a gray sky. No movie director gets that close." After, the success of "Lucid Dream" Carey's tenure at Dualtone came to an end early 2008. He proceeded to produce, write and co-write close to one hundred songs. Several of those songs are slated for a mid January release of his "Human Heart" CD which will feature up to 20 tunes. A major effort from a major artist! |    | ||||||||||
| What People Are Saying "With his shimmering guitars, gossamer melodies and voice to haunt you to the soul's core, Cary Ott brings to life the proverb that still waters run deep. His is the kind of talent that bridges generations, smashes genre walls and can make you effortlessly groove and endlessly dream at the same time. He's a kid in a sandbox, a man making grand designs--and the kind of aritst whose gifts are seen rarely in any given generation. Long may he run." - Louis Carlozo, The Chicago Tribune "Carey Ott's musical style is a refreshing kaleidoscope of melody and emotion. His music actually leads the listener effortlessly into the story of the song and it unfolds without their even realizing it. Although Carey's guitar is simply the vehicle in which he draws a picture, we are very proud to be a small part of it all." - Cara Hogan, Epiphone / Gibson Musical Instruments "Carey Ott has crafted a collection of songs that will prove to be timeless. Whatever mood you're in Carey Ott has that certain something that makes you embrace what is going on musically." - Brian Ball, Ernie Ball, Inc. "Carey Ott's sweet vignettes ooze an epic-indieness, like a Rufus Wainwright or Teddy Thompson, just without the family drama, and with vocals reminiscent of a Ron Sexsmith combined with the upbeat indie rock of Brendon Benson. Expect to be winding down your window, singing along to the radio sometime soon." - Uncut Magazine / UK "A driving Oasis appeal with a penchant for Beatles melodic ethic." - American Songwriter Magazine | |||||||||||
