Next show: May 6 - Garrison Starr and Glen Phillips
GARRISON STARR
Garrison Starr is an L.A.-based, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and producer. She comes to us at the request of Glen Phillips, who is but one of many great artists and art-appreciators singing her praises.
Garrison has been writing and performing, recording and releasing songs and albums steadily since the early ‘90s. She’s toured with Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, Indigo Girls, Bruce Cockburn, Patty Griffin, Melissa Etheridge, Mindy Smith and Mary Chapin Carpenter, to name a few. Her songs have been used in a lot of TV shows, including Grey's Anatomy, Pretty Little Liars, Nashville, Hart of Dixie, Army Wives, Brothers & Sisters, and more.
Garrison co-wrote and produced Margaret Cho’s 2019 “American Myth,” which was nominated for Comedy Record of the Year.
With an earned reputation for honesty and authenticity, Garrison Starr has forged a path as an independent artist, and we are delighted to welcome her, for her first time at Tales from the Tavern.
