WHO I AM…

BORN AND RAISED AMONG THE BLUE MOUNTAINS OF OREGON, MUSIC HAS BEEN A LIFE LONG LOVE OF MINE. MY GRANDFATHER WAS LEGENDARY COUNTRY SINGER AND SONGWRITER MONTE GARRISON, WHO GAVE ME MY FIRST GUITAR AND TAUGHT ME HOW TO PLAY IT. OVER THE YEARS I’VE DRAWN INSPIRATION FROM HIS MANY SONGS, AS WELL AS ARTISTS SUCH AS BONNIE RAITT, ARETHA FRANKLIN, MAVIS STAPLES, ROY ORBISON, AND STEVIE NICKS.
