ABOUT GARRISON STARR:
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.
ABOUT MEGAN SLANKARD:
Megan Slankard and her band The Wreckage have independently sold over 50,000 copies of six self-released albums. Their latest record, “California & Other Stories,” which was Co-Produced with Nashville producer Alex Wong, (Delta Rae, Vienna Teng, Elizabeth & The Catapult,) showcases new sides of Megan's music, balancing delightfully belligerent rock and roll with cinematic soundscapes of orchestral instruments and robot harmonies.
Before the pandemic brought everything to a halt, Megan performed 100-150 shows a year across the country including, more recently, a 50-show Guitar Center tour with BOSE, a bio-coastal songwriter tour with Alex Wong, and a 30-date, cross-country tour with Toad the Wet Sprocket.
Her songwriting has received national and international recognition: she was a finalist in 2021 (and 2018) and 2nd place winner in 2020 in the Unsigned Only Competition, a finalist in 2020, 2019, and 2017 in the International Songwriting Competition, a finalist in 2019 in the International Acoustic Music Awards, and a finalist in 2019 in the USA Songwriting Competition. Megan won first place in 2017 in the Unsigned Only Music Competition (AAA Category) for a punk song she wrote, recorded, and performed herself in her kitchen, smack dab in the middle of San Francisco. (Sorry neighbors.)
Megan's adventures have also included singing duets with Pat Monahan and Train, speaking at a TedX event, performing with Darius Rucker, Lukas Nelson, Macklemore, Ben Rector, Charles Kelley (of Lady A) at AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, co-writing, performing, and producing a song for San Francisco's KFOG's Breast Cancer Research charity drive (featuring guest singers Hozier, Florence Welch, Steve Earle, Grace Potter and more,) playing electric guitar on Jimmy Kimmel Live, singing the National Anthem dressed as Princess Leia at Oracle Park for the San Francisco Giants (and six other times, dressed as herself), singing for Glen Keane's animated short "Duet" for Google's Spotlight Stories, touring with Dire Straits co-founder David Knopfler throughout Europe, and even participating on two episodes of TLC's reality makeover series, What NOT to Wear (she really had no idea.)
