(antiMusic) If you haven't heard the name Carey Ott yet... don't worry, you will. You may have already heard his music. Music Choice has the song "Am I Just One" in heavy rotation and the song made a splash when it was featured in the January 22nd episode of "Grey's Anatomy". The song went over so well Hollywood records will include the track on the forthcoming soundtrack for the show. Grey fans can hear the song again on May 7th. We won't mention Ott being singled out by iTunes as a buzz band for this year's SxSW music conference. Ott has a lot of momentum behind him as he gears up for the release of his new album "Lucid Dream" on June 26th by Dualtone Music Group. That momentum just received a new injection when Ott was selected to open Thomas Dolby's first tour in 15 years.
The ten date tour kicks off on May 4th in New York City and concludes with a two night stand in Chicago on May 17th. Ott will preview material from "Lucid Dream" aided by guitarist/vocalist Satchel Paige Welch and keyboardist Kai Welch. Fans will also be treated to some brand new material as well.
