About Don’t Fret
Mark Carter is a bass and keyboard player and long-time instrument repairperson living in Kitchener, Ontario. His musical background spans jazz, R&B, classical, and rock influences. He has spent hundreds of hours playing the same eight Tom Petty, Van Morrison, and early-era Beatles songs (not the good ones) that you have in rooms even emptier than you can imagine.
Initially drawn to the world of guitar electronics modification many years ago, he has since built a handful of instruments and repaired countless more.
