Just one more thing:
In a 2011 Santa Barbara Independent interview Broemel talks a little about his upbringing, explaining how he was raised in a musical house and that music was always part of his world.
"My dad, he’s now retired, but he’s a professional musician, so I was kind of raised in a musical house. He was a bassoon player, so I was exposed to classical music first off. I played the violin and piano since I was a little guy. Then I was exposed to classic rock radio — I had an older brother who was into rock ‘n’ roll — and I eventually migrated to the guitar in junior high school. Music was just always around, it was part of my world, so I didn’t really try to become a musician until going from high school to college. People started asking me, ‘what are you going to do?’ and I figured, well, I guess I’ll get a music degree."- Carl Broemel

"I've always been a song writer of sorts in bands when I was growing up in Indiana, so I've always had songs that come into my brain and I'll record a demo."- Carl Broemel

On August 31st Carl Broemel released his first solo album, All Birds Say. In an interview with The Republican Broemel said that his move to the musically rich Nashville was central in his journey towards releasing his solo album.
"I started doing demos in Nashville in the beginning of 2005 and I've been assembling a batch of songs for four years here and there. After six or seven of them, I started giving them to people like Jim (James), our manager, all my friends."- Carl Broemel
