Deana Carter’s sun-drenched country charisma and the vibrant pulse of Selena’s catchy Tejano music take the stage this August at Edmonds Center for the Arts! Whether you’re craving the nostalgic warmth of ‘90s country or the electricity of Latin pop, these two shows promise to stir hearts and move feet. Plus, read on to learn more about our brand-new Small Business Industry Night and how you can celebrate with us on Aug. 16.
First up, Deana Carter brings her signature sound and undeniable charisma to ECA on Aug. 3 at 7:30 p.m. Drenched in sun-kissed natural beauty both inside and out, the Nashville native didn’t take a seemingly easy route to stardom, but instead chose to defy the conventional expectations of the typical Nashville artist blueprint and make her own mark.
And she did, undeniably taking the industry and fans by storm with her wildly successful multi-platinum international debut Did I Shave My Legs For This? in 1996. Anchored by the dreamy super hit Strawberry Wine, Carter showcased her own blend of country and retro rock sprinkled with the folksy singer/songwriter qualities that have garnered Deana Carter a career marked by well-deserved respect and wild acclaim.
Deana Carter’s debut album Did I Shave My Legs For This? topped both country and pop charts with three #1 singles, a groundbreaking feat that helped cement its place as a beloved ’90s country classic. Now with eight albums under her belt, Carter is known for her conversational, confessional songwriting style.
The daughter of legendary guitarist, producer, and founder of Nugget Records, Fred Carter Jr., she grew up backstage among icons like Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton. A demo cassette caught Willie Nelson’s ear, leading to her historic Farm Aid VII appearance in 1994 as the only solo female artist. She later launched her own label, Little Nugget Records, to honor her father’s legacy. A true creative force, she splits her time between LA, Florida, and Nashville — writing, producing and developing film projects. A Grammy Board member and artist advocate, Carter continues to defy convention, making waves with every new song, tour stop, and screen appearance.
