Beau Bogard was the original member of Carter Road. In January 2006, he met up
with a friend and starting playing around all the time dreaming of putting a band
together. His roommate, Robby Klauder, also wanted to take part and transformed
over from a guitarist to a bass player. Time went on and changes were made
throughout the band, and good things just began to happen.
Beau began playing the guitar some years ago but never really put any emphasis on
playing lead. He always just wanted to be that guy with the acoustic guitar jamming out
at someone’s house. Well for the first couple months of playing, his nickname was
“intro to intro” because he could play the first 20 seconds to probably over 100 songs.
That phase was soon up and he began learning every song he could possibly think of,
focusing much of his interest with 90’s grunge bands and somewhat lighter styles. It
was the band’s interest in this genre that opened all the doors, bands were not playing
these songs too much around their hometown.
Beau comes from no musical background whatsoever. Boredom and frat life was the
leading cause of picking up the guitar, and has in return blessed him with so many
memories that he believes he may have never had otherwise.
Growing up, he never really idolized anyone. He was raised listening to Oldies and
Country, which is still where his heart is, but you won’t catch it on his radio stations.
Beau has begun to really fall for the Fall Out Boys, The Kill, 30 Seconds to Mars type
sound, and would love incorporating this genre into CRD’s already growing set.
Beau is a full time student majoring in engineering, while at the same time being CRD’
s manager and booking “agent”. He has traveled over 2,000 miles handing out demos
and has sent out over 500 emails spreading the sounds of Carter Road to anyone who
would listen. Taking no for an answer has definitely not been his approach. “Bars
would tell me they could not book us….they never heard us or seen us before….” but it’
s amazing that those same bars are now booking CRD months in advance. “Without
the support of my wonderful girlfriend Katie, my family’s constant praise, and my sister
giving me my first guitar, I truly believe I would not be where I am today."
