I like all kinds of music! My favorite is probably U2, although I cut my teeth on Bluegrass artists like Tony Rice, Sam Bush, Stuart Duncan, Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglass, Kenny Baker, Doyle Lawson, etc. I like classical composers such as Vivaldi, Bach and Mozart. I also love Guns N' Roses, Radiohead and Van Halen. I have been getting into world music lately and also listen to arstists like Deep Forest and PortisHead.
Jeremy Garrett is a fiddle player and singer in a band called The Infamous Stringdusters (Sugar Hill recording artists). Since moving to Nashville, Jeremy Garrett has turned heads with his soulful lead and tenor vocals, dynamic fiddle playing, and intense stage presence.
~ 2009 ~ March 31st was the release date for Jeremy's new solo recording 'I Am A Stranger' from Sugar Hill Records! Order your copy today! Click the link on his NEW CD Blog!
~ 2008 ~ When 'The Infamous Stringdusters' came out June 10 on Sugar Hill Records, some may have assumed from the title that it was a debut recording. Yet the bands second album feels like an introduction of a sort. Whereas 'Fork in the Road' was made during their first potent months together, the new CD represents all the band has become during two years of intense touring, meticulous wood shedding and brotherly jamming. It's their first record with accomplished guitarist Andy Falco, whose blues-infused licks and stunning virtuosity has added a new facet to the band's musical personality. It's the first with the band's dream producer Tim O'Brien, a Grammy-winning musician who has pioneered and embodied the progressive school of roots and bluegrass that underlies the Stringdusters sound. And of course it's the first with these songs - nine band originals supplemented by a few carefully chosen tunes from colleagues in the acoustic music community.
~ 2007 ~ The Infamous Stringdusters have released their first record titled 'Fork in the Road' and won three awards at the IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) Convention and Award show. The awards included, Song of the Year, Emerging Artist of the year and a tie with J.D. Crowe for album of the year, a first in history.
~ 2006 ~ Jeremy released a gospel record that he recorded with his dad Glen, self titled 'Jeremy Garrett and Glen Garrett' which is an all bluegrass gospel album and has 23 guests. Some of them include: The Infamous Stringdusters, Chris Jones, Alicia Nugent, Audie Blaylock, Wyatt Rice, Jim Hurst and many more.
~ < 2006 ~ Raised in Idaho, he began fiddling as a child, cementing his skills with a stint in the Bluegrass and Country Music degree program at South Plains College in Levelland, Texas, where he was named Bluegrass Male Vocalist of the Year in 1996. From Texas, he returned to Idaho, joining his father Glen and other area musicians to form The Grasshoppers.
Upon his arrival in Nashville, Jeremy collaborated with the Chris Jones Coalition, touring nationally and immersing himself in songwriting and additional stage and studio work. Jeremy teamed up with Ronnie Bowman and The Committee in 2004, and with Bowman and other members of The Committee, was part of a small acoustic ensemble backing Grammy-winning country singer Lee Ann Womack on her year-end tour. Jeremy has also played and toured with such artists as J.D. Crowe, Bobby Osborne, Audie Blaylock, Jim Hurst, The Waybacks and many others.
In 2005, Jeremy made the commitment to be a part of the group that is poised to become the most talented and creative new band on the bluegrass scene: The Infamous Stringdusters.

Nach der langen Zeit des
Wartens ist es nun soweit: Der Reimteufel präsentiert das Album
"Lebenslinien".
Wer bis zum 30. Juli das
neue Album bestellt, bekommt einen "HipHop für
Individualisten"-Aufkleber gratis dazu.
Dieses Konzept-Album zeigt
die Verbindung von Lebensgeschichten und Geräuschen einer Stadt, welche in
verschiedenen Songs aufgegriffen und weitergeführt werden.
Lebenslinien, sind nicht nur die Linien in der Hand, die Falten im Gesicht, die
Narben am Körper, sie sind auch Wege die wir gehen und all das möchte das Album
Lebenslinien verbinden und dabei dem Motto "Hip Hop für
Individualisten" treu bleiben.
