Carl Peters
Guitar, Vocals

Carl began playing in clubs in the late 1970s in the Salisbury/Seaford area.  Prior to that he had played in bands in high school.. check out some old photos here.   In 1980, he was an original member of Fair Warning that later became Nasty Habits.  Nasty Habits played hard rock ala AC/DC, Van Halen, etc. up and down the Delmarva Peninsula from 1981 to 1984.  They got their start opening for Seaford’s Jack of Diamonds.  When Nasty Habits fell apart in 1984, Carl went with Hyde Park of Dover.  Hyde Park was regrouping at the time after the death of their guitarist, Phil Moore.  During the time Carl was with Hyde Park, the band began recording some of Brian Shouldis’ original material for later release on CD.  Carl left Hyde Park in 1986 to go with Drawbridge of Cambridge, MD.  Drawbridge was a well established band at the time that Carl joined them.  For two years, until 1988, Drawbridge played close to 200 nights a year from Ocean City, MD to Westminster, MD and all points in between.  Carl had taken a break from the bar band scene from 1988 until 2001 when he began playing with the Mari Rhodes Band.  He had also begun playing with Allen in Straight Shooter in September of 2001.
