Garret Swayne has become an eminent figure in the Los Angeles folk music scene in recent years. As creator and host of the Mainstreet Songwriters Showcase, he has been a driving force in the emergence of a real songwriter community in LA, bringing deserving writer/performers to public attention. But he is also widely recognized as a master song craftsman himself and an extraordinary folk artist, a Troubadour for the Digital Age. His songs and stories reveal a profound intellect, but at the same time, they resonate with a full palette of deep emotionality. The end result is immensely appealing—songs that cover a wide range of human experience, from deeply wrought ballads of inner revelation; to hilarious satires of popular culture; to whimsical tales of love and redemption. If there's any common theme, you might say it's about Connection--finding the tones, touching the chords that make us all feel connected to one another. A compelling lyricist and an elegant tunesmith, you usually leave a Garret Swayne show with his songs pleasantly embedded in your brain! For more, visit his official website at www.garretswayne.com.

Hi Garret! Did you move to Nashville? Haven't been to Kulak's in ages, so I'm out of touch. Nashville could be good for you. Have fun! You might remember this one from the Woodshed... Just stoppin' by to drop off some BurroSpam from Road Apple Records.... My old friend King Gully was the first Rasta surfer on the wild North Shore of Barbados. This song, imaginatively also named "King Gully", is based on his true story. It's been described as a cross between "I Shot The Sheriff" and "Puff The Magic Dragon". :>) And there's ukulele under all those dang gitarz! I think you'll like it, as well as the video, with shots of great surfing and amazing waves, all from Barbados! Enjoy.... (Cut & paste....) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjFRtKuXJ6E
