We had a great conversation with Lance Carpenter today on The Chris & Sandy Show. We talked about so many things from faith, family, music, community, struggles, sacrifices, passion and told so many stories around songwriting! Don’t miss this. He became our LONGEST interview! What a great mind he has and we got to dig into it today! Click the play button to listen to the podcast.
The big-hearted Arkansas farm kid with a voice to match chose a career in service to others. Amid the considerable stress and turmoil attending that job, he found that the music he loved was able to quiet his mind and focus his heart. Slowly and often unintentionally, the power of crafting lyrics and melody drew Lance in a new direction. Eventually, he realized he’d returned to the exact place he’d started – the place he was meant to be all along.
“Anyone Else,” Lance Carpenter’s debut release for Show Dog Nashville and duet with label mate Krystal Keith, is a tantalizing glimpse of the depth of creativity to come. Already a chart-topping songwriter (Kelsea Ballerini’s “Love Me Like You Mean It”), Carpenter has continually earned the notice of fans and gatekeepers, even without meaning to. Now, he’s poised to capture their attention on a much bigger scale.
Carpenter’s arrival as a songwriter and recording artist is, in many ways, an extension of a creative progression that became increasingly deliberate. The journey took him from self-taught hobbyist and therapeutic outlet to committed songwriter and Nashville-based professional hitmaker. Continually working toward developing his craft, a growing love of performing led to the recording session that changed everything. Unexpectedly so.
“My introduction to country music was my mom playing it in her car,” says Carpenter, who grew up on a cattle farm in Northwest Arkansas. “I never thought I would sing or play, but my stepdad has listened to the country countdown every Sunday for as long as I’ve known him. Country has just been a staple in my life.”
