THE ROAD TO NASHVILLE: Jarett graduated from the Defoore Institute of Music in Mineola Texas after 7 years of study under the legendary John Defoore. During that time Jarett hit the stage at an early age. He performed his first Honky Tonk Show at the age of 10. This led to many on-stage appearances at fairs, oprys, bars, television shows and private events up until his senior year in high school. Many of these events included big name headliners. These opportunities sealed his desire to pursue his goal as an artist. After graduating in 2009 from High School in Lindale, Texas at age 17, Jarett moved straight to Nashville to hone his craft as an artist. His first Nashville gig was with Tootsies Orchard Lounge. Over the next several years he performed at a variety of well-known Nashville venues. In addition to performing regularly, Jarett stayed busy, and continues to stay busy writing on Music Row. His current goal is to finish his album by January of 2018.
