A Brief History...
Born November 30th, 1973 in Rock Island, IL. Neil Carpenter was born to rock!!
At just 4 years old, Neil began to bang on the drums.
After years of training on the drums, Neil picked up the guitar at age 10 to
begin writing his own music. This also lead to learning the bass guitar, as well as the piano.
Neil spent his teen years in and out of several bands where all these skills were utilized.

In 1995 Neil joined the power/pop band The Ravens, as their bass player.
The Ravens would eventually evolve into Blackbird Abbey,
with whom Neil would record 2 CDs and tour the southeast for 7 years.

In 2002 Neil joined the Rock band Ghostbox, as their bass player. Ghostbox ROCKED it's way into
all the major venues in Central Florida including the Hard Rock LIVE and The 2003 Deland Music Festival.

2003 opened up a whole 'new world' for Neil when he took his experienced bass playing to the band House Party.
As the house band for The Legendary Why Not Lounge for over 8 years, the members of House Party have forged
a musical partnership that has lasted over 10 years and can still be seen around Central Florida today as After Party!!

"Music is my life..." Neil has played bass with several bands over the years,
including Casteen Road in 2011, and in 2012 Neil took to the stage with One Wild Nite all over Central Florida.
Neil has also worked with Top Secret, Rodeo Drive, Showdown, Punching Judy, and The Millionaires. Just to name a few!!

In 2013 Neil re-entered the world of original music with Outbound Road,
mixing together the best of classic rock, southern rock and country to produce a fresh perspective on those musical genres – and creating a brand new sound, which they call “Hard Country.”

In early 2014 Neil met and joined the boys from Black Canvas at Mix Monsterz Studio
where they were recording their new Record. You can currently find Neil playing shows all over Florida with Black Canvas.

When he's not Rockin' the Live stage, Neil is hard at work with Producer/Drummer Sean "The Cannon" Shannon
