He’s been a rarity in the cutthroat world of music: a decent guy.
“It’s different for every manager and every artist,” Carrico said. “It’s how you craft a relationship that has you representing others while advising them — and trying not to take over or assume any power position. I think that’s one of the errors people make when they ask about a manager. They’ll ask clients of mine, ‘What’s it like working for Tom Carrico?’ I’ll go: ‘Hold on. I’m workingHe started working with Chopteeth 18 years ago, after walking into a Colombian restaurant on Georgia Avenue.
“He plucked us out of obscurity,” said Shereikis, guitarist and singer in the band. “He saw something in us we’re not sure we saw. Tom is a big part of whatever success Chopteeth has had.”Like the music in D.C. itself, the type of music Carrico has worked with is diverse, from country to rock, blues to African funk. Is there something his clients have had in common?
“Great material,” he said. “I tend to favor songwriters. I tend to not favor bands that aren’t songwriters, not due to any built-in prejudice, just this is a rugged business. If you’re going to go for it, you’ve got to have all the goods to go for it.”“Carrico has always been an absolute straight shooter. No shenanigans,” said Wenner. “He wasn’t cutthroat. I’ve met band managers that could whine their way into getting something done or just were so aggressive, these bullying kind of characters.
