The Carter-Lachmann Project is one of Germany’s newest and promising sounds in original Funk & Soul music. The Project consists of American singer and songwriter Curtis Carter, a Virginia native now living in Germany for the last 3 years, and Timo Lachmann, an accomplished guitarist and songwriter born and raised in Germany. The merging of these 2 goes back at least two or more years at a concert of Lachmann’s were he and Carter met for the first time. “I really liked his music” said Carter “it was good with that certain sound that I couldn’t put my finger on”. They were introduced and Carter was asked to join a Funk band three weeks later along with Lachmann and drummer Sven Edler.
In August of 2008 Carter approached Lachmann about starting a project of original songs and the Carter-Lachmann Project (CL-Project) was born.
