You may know Jeremy Garrett from The Infamous Stringdusters. As a dynamic fiddle player with a wide range of style and flair in the Stringdusters, the new record and this single come as a more intimate and subtle feel to the multi-instrumentalist’s tool belt. The Highway has a flood of reverberating acoustic guitar notes, emanating outward into space. Garrett’s voice drifting along dusty road vibes and rusted sign posts…then breaks out in a 0-60 in 3 seconds as his voice opens up, the acoustic steady beneath and a chorus of voices propping up the break. Haunting and powerful. The tune builds as it moves on down the line, before again resolving gently back to where it came…home again.
Who: Jeremy Garrett
From: Nashville, TN
Song: “The Highway”
Latest Record: “Circles”
What About It: “This was a co-write with Jon Weisberger and the last song that I wrote before leaving Nashville, TN, my home for 13 years. Our band, The Infamous Stringdusters were going strong and for me it just felt like time to leave Nashville and head back out west, the country of my heart. I bought an RV and pretty soon after writing this song, I fired it up and left Nashville to live on the road for awhile. The Highway encompasses a lot of what I was feeling at the time and played in my mind as a soundtrack to the changes that were before me.“
