GARRISON STARR
Los Angeles, CA
“A Lucinda Williams for Gen X’ers.”
-NPR
“One of the strongest voices in town. She is also the author of affecting, emotion-bearing songs
that are clothed in attractive, melodic garb.”
-Billboard
Garrison Starr is the quintessential musical triple-threat, singer, songwriter, Grammy-nominated
record producer, and her soon-to-be-released latest full-length album, Garrison Starr and The
Gospel Truth, reveals her at the height of her powers.
Starr calls the new collection of songs, “Swamp Gospel Hymns for Humans,” the next chapter in
her story of recovery and healing from her Evangelical Christian upbringing. Her previous
album, "Girl I Used To Be,” released during the pandemic in March 2021, launched her
exploration of deconstruction on the path towards self-love and forgiveness. “Girl I Used To Be”
is the story of saying goodbye to what was, and The Gospel Truth is the story of the journey over
the bridge to freedom.
Starr has been releasing singles from the new record over the last several months, following a
number of TV placements on Monarch, Bull, and most recently, Walker: Independence, a
consistent pattern for Starr throughout her remarkable career.
Starr is a celebrated singer of such remarkable reputation that music icons go out of their way to
praise her. Glen Phillips declares, “Garrison’s voice goes straight to the gut. She reminds you of
what it means to be human.” Mary Chapin Carpenter adds, “She just writes and sings her heart
out. In the American Idolized landscape that constitutes today’s music business, she is someone
to be thankful for.”
Her frequent collaborations with other artists have been both in the studio and on stage – Starr
has toured with the likes of Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, Bruce Cockburn, Patty Griffin, Mindy
Smith, Glen Phillips, and The Indigo Girls, to name a few, logging hundreds of thousands of
touring miles across the country and around the world.
The forthcoming record is called Garrison Starr and The Gospel Truth. New releases
forthcoming.
