Nick Carter’s younger brother is still dropping tracks in the music business—who knew?

From a post onThe Forvm’s Facebook page, Aaron Carter will be stopping by WNY for an intimate show next month.

According to his website. “Aaron Carter began his music career at age seven, singing lead for the band ‘Dead End.’ Two years later he made his first solo appearance when he was nine, opening for the Backstreet Boys at their concert in Berlin Germany, March 1997. The performance was followed by a record contract and, in the fall of 1997, Aaron Carter released his first hit single, ‘Crush On You.”

Since then, he never looked back. Known for being a teen pop star in the early 2000s, Carter is famous for other tracks including “That’s How I Beat Shaq,” “I Want Candy,” and “Aaron’s Party (Come Get It).”

You can catch Aaron Carter, alongside local band “WiT (What is This)” at 8 p.m. on Feb. 23 at The Forvm in Amherst. Tickets are $30 pre-sale, $25 day of show and you can get more information about the show on TicketWeb. This show is also expected to sell out.
