Chicago-born, guitar-slinging songwriter Todd Carey hit the top forty iTunes charts with his 2010 EP release After the Morning After. Produced by Mikal Blue (Colbie Caillat, Five for Fighting), the new After the Morning After EP "kind of runs the course of a relationship," Carey describes. "My last record was about the birth and the bright-eyed newness of a relationship, but this group of songs is more diverse." Carey knows the touring routine well, as he crisscrossed the country, playing more than 250 shows, selling out hometown shows in Chicago and Wisconsin, and becoming a fixture on the college circuit while promoting Watching Waiting, released through Universal's Independent Distro (Fontana).
