“You had me at “Fountain Pen”. Clever, poignant and instantly engaging. It’s a gem!”
–Marilyn Rea Beyer | Host, The Midnight Special WFMT 98.7FM, Chicago
“There’s not a single song here [on Fountain Pen] that fails to reach that high bar, with several — “Comfort In Your Cup,” “Arizona Sunsets” and “The Bridge” — coming across like instant standards. A highly evocative effort, this Fountain Pen is not only a reliable tool, but a resourceful one as well.” –Lee Zimmerman, Goldmine Magazine

Soulful folk and a coffee break for the soul. For your time, stories and shelter inside a song. It’s been said that Nick Carter channels Harry Chapin, Jim Croce and John Gorka.
Fountain Pen, is Nick Carter’s contemporary folk debut.
