Breakthrough Artist of the Week: Cort Carpenter

Each Friday at 9:30am, KICK-FM will feature an artist on the rise during the Breakthrough Artist of the Week, brought to you by Glass One Quincy, home of the hassle free guarantee.

Originally planning to go the Major Leagues as a baseball star, a car accident pushed Cort Carpenter to explore his other passion in life: music. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, he's a fan of country, but pulls some of the regions iconic rock influences into his music, even a little of his brother's club DJ influence. This helps Cort create a sound that still sounds decidedly country, but has a groove that gets you going. For more about Cort Carpenter, check out his website here. His music, including his single "Holy Ground," is available on iTunes.
