Welcome
Carey continues to do select solo acoustic gigs as he travels back and forth from Nashville to San Jose working with co-producer Terry Carleton recording his imminently released 20 song cd, HUMAN HEART. It's a major works in progress with over 200 songs to harvest and pick from. There has been a Toronto connection with producer Ben Pelchat added to the mix and this writer must express that amongst the mayhem and artistry it is developing into a piece of work that will do his previous critically acclaimed release on Dualtone Music Group, LUCID DREAM, proud. Artwork by Nashville's Wayne Brezinka, photography by Nashville's David McLister and videos by Chicago's Jim Quattrocki (check out his Viemo) will add a dimension of visual insight. Thank You for your support!

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!
