Carl Unbehaun on \”The Mixtape\”Carl Unbehaun says he writes the songs that no one else thinks of writing. Whether it’s a song about a guy whose woman spitefully gives away his favorite shirt (“Seersucker”), about a guy who goes to prison only to discover that his wife’s letters come less and less frequently (“Visitors’ Day), about the perils of cell phones (“Hard Cell”) or about getting away in a canoe to reflect on life (“You”), Carl’s audiences appreciate the mix of passionate, humorous, and tongue-in-cheek tunes.

Carl performed live in the studio on “The Mixtape” with Jeremy Haug.
