Last Thursday the 25th of September, a former classmate of mine, Carter Lezman, took the stage at World of Beer on South State Street with his friend David Heilig. The two serenaded the bar of friends, family and strangers with 90s throwbacks, current favorites, some original tunes written by Carter and a few classics like Sweet Home Alabama.
Carter has a strong tenor voice, which works very well for the ballads he chooses to sing. His passion and love for music comes across in his performance. David and Carter pair harmonic chords well together on the guitar and clearly enjoy playing with one another.
I had the pleasure of meeting one of Carter’s inspirations for playing music, his mother Lori. Her enthusiasm and excitement for Carter’s show was infectious. Many of his friends turned out to see him perform as well.
Be sure to keep your eyes open for the next time Carter Lezman is performing in Ann Arbor.
