“This Bad Boy is a tongue-in-cheek enigma, but his booze-soaked, acoustic-punk Springsteen impression works.” – Jay Boller/Vita.mn “When did I start believing my own lies?” – Jordan Carr Reinvention is a process Jordan Carr won’t be quitting anytime soon. The Minnesota singer/songwriter went from spending his youth in juvenile detention and a punk band to composing an entire album of hungover reflection from a jail cell. He’s a free man now, but there’s still plenty of reflecting to be done. That’s good for any fan of honest, rock-solid songwriting and performance. Carr’s 2013 solo debut “Reinventing the Dumbass” marked him as the logical successor to Paul Westerberg, another Minnesota native familiar with heartbreak and self-composed disaster. It only takes a few seconds of “Reinventing the Dumbass” to understand. Carr’s debut album has been called “the perfect heartbroken drinking soundtrack" (Austin Kaus/ 605 Magazine) full of “broody, booze-soaked acoustic goodness” (Jay Boller/ Vita.mn). After 3 years of touring, international travels and further adventures best left off the record, Carr is back to penning more of his self-proclaimed "bad boy blues," only this time with a full-band backing him, Jordan Carr and The Boys, who are currently recording the follow up to “Reinventing the Dumbass” and expect to release the project in summer of 2017. Through the songs of self-sabotage and self-medication, Carr’s grin cuts through the speakers with a glimmer of hope and a cheers to continued success.
