About

Many female singer-songwriters of the "twangy realm" often try to make the kind of music that balances alt country's insurgence with New Country's commercial appeal. Like Tift Merritt, Rosanne Cash, Allison Moorer, Shelby Lynne, Mindy Smith and Kim Richey, Garrison Starr has succeeded at this by balancing the fortitude of Americana country songwriting with modern and innovative production ideas. Her voice weaves in and out of sultry seductiveness and gritty soulfulness, and her best songs romanticize about growing up in America's heartland, living and loving in the South.
