Carl Newman

Allan Carl Newman (born April 14, 1968) is a Canadian musician and songwriter. He was a member of the indie rock bands Superconductor and Zumpano in the 1990s. Following the breakup of those bands, he reemerged as the leader of The New Pornographers in 2000.

In 2004, Newman launched his solo career, performing as A.C. Newman.

uperconductor and Zumpano

Carl Newman began his musical career in the 1990s as a member of the grunge/pop group Superconductor. After a brief stay, he joined the Vancouver-based pop group Zumpano. Together they released two albums in the mid-1990s, "Look What the Rookie Did" and "Goin' Through Changes", both of which received positive reviews. Zumpano did not officially break up, but did not record any more albums.

olo career

After years of gaining success as the musical savant behind the songs of his bands, in 2004 Newman debuted as A.C. Newman the solo artist. "The Slow Wonder", his only solo album to date, was well-received. His musical sensibilities as a solo musician have been compared to those of Ray Davies, Harry Nilsson, and Ben Folds.

Newman is married to Christy Simpson, the marketing manager at Matador Records (The New Pornographers' label). [http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/19/fashion/19nite.html?ex=1345176000&en=caace4e7e1b71812&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink]

Newman is currently working on his second solo album, titled "Get Guilty", which is scheduled to be released on Matador Records on January 20, 2009. [http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/144741-carl-newman-to-get-guilty-on-new-solo-lp]
