Candi Carpenter
The crowds first warm up to her enchanting smile and serene beauty, then become totally enthralled by her tremendously powerful voice and magnetic stage presence. Candi Carpenter is like nothing Nashville has ever seen.
Whether she's wringing every last drop of emotion from a country music ballad, or singing her own compositions, Candi’s amazing vocal range and power-packed delivery leave the audience screaming for more.
Her ever-growing list of accomplishments, and the star-studded list of country music greats with whom she’s performed, seem hardly possible for some one who has just turned 19.

The incomparable Jack Greene, Grand Ole Opry legend and multiple CMA award-winner, has featured Candi on his “Yesterday and Today Show” for the last three years. As Jack & Candi have toured around the country, fans are taken down memory lane by Jack’s timeless voice as he brings his multiple #1 hits to life, then treated to Candi’s amazing renditions of country music’s beloved standards. More on Candi. Paraphrased from Gerald Murray Music web site.
