In 1991, Mark Carpentieri wanted to record his band Somethin’ Blue but
like many musicians, he didn’t have the money. He ended up making a
deal with the studio owner. He would dump a van full of construction
garbage for a night's worth of recording. Through simple barter, M.C.
Records was formed. In 1996, Mark signed Mississippi bluesman Big Jack
Johnson and released his music throughout the world. Since then, the
industry has taken notice. The label has been nominated for five Grammy
Awards and won or been nominated for over 30 Blues Music Awards. In
2006, M.C. Records received The Blues Foundation Blues Label of the
Year Award.
