Press Kit

BIO:

At only 20 years old, Garrett Huffman has accomplished an impressive amount of career milestones since teaching himself how to play the guitar during the pandemic of 2020.  His original music landed him a record deal with Iron Gate Records, an endorsement deal with Willow Creek Guitars, an endorsement deal with Guitar Wishes Custom Electric Guitars, and has signed with multiple entertainment agencies.  Garrett has amassed countless fans across the United States and, on January 20, 2024, Garrett was bestowed with the esteemed “2023 Carolina CMA Entertainer of the Year” award by the Carolina Country Music Association at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, SC.  His victory was fueled by the overwhelming support of his fan base, earning him the highest number of votes ever recorded in the history of the competition.  Garrett has graced the stage at over 450 shows across North and South Carolina, as well as Tennessee, since his performance debut in 2021.

MUSIC/PERFORMANCE:

Garrett’s vocal ability sets him above the rest in that he can do almost any genre from country to rock.  He creates the set list based on the venue/crowd and provides a high energy performance that leaves the people wanting more.  Garrett performs as either a solo artist or full band depending on the event.  In addition, Garrett also writes and produces his own original music and has written over 100 songs with many scheduled for release in 2024/2025 along with a scheduled EP in the works for 2025.  Since 2023, he has accumulated over 100K streams on all platforms and over 10K monthly listeners on Spotify.  While his original music is geared toward country rock, what makes Garrett special, is that he has the ability to give any song its own spin/flare.

PAST PERFORMANCES:

Garrett has performed at many noteworthy venues including The Local, Commodore Grille, Tin Roof, and other venues in Nashville, TN, The House of Blues, The Boathouse, and Tin Roof in Myrtle Beach, SC and has played at multiple concert series events with the City of Gastonia, Town of Pineville, City of York, Town of Mooresville, Town of Clover, Town of Dallas, and City of Mount Holly.  He has also opened for the Charlotte Symphony for the past three years, playing for approximately 3,000 people each time.  Garrett has also played events with Warren Peay, Ronald Radford, Mark Herndon, and Dixiana and has opened for Mike Rogers, Cody Webb, Point of Grace, Marcus King, Mac Arnold, Drake White, and Josh Turner in front of thousands of attendees.  In addition, he has also opened for the bands On The Border, Chapel Hart, The Rick Strickland Band, The Brent Cates Band, Dreamer and is excited to be part of the Lovin’ Life Music Fest in 2025.

CHARITY / GIVING BACK:

Garrett’s heart has always been to use his talent to help others and support his local community.  He has enjoyed working with several cancer and pediatric cancer charity events and community events supporting downtown businesses in Lincolnton, NC.  Also, Garrett has enjoyed visiting Cardinal Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center in Lincolnton, NC and Morningside Assisted Living in Gastonia, NC to encourage and uplift the residents through music.  He was honored to be part of the benefit concert with Julia Golden to support Western North Carolina and the many affected by the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Helene.  In November 2024, Garrett is looking forward to opening for DeCarlo, the lead singer for the iconic rock band – Boston, in a benefit concert for Western North Carolina with all proceeds going to Samaritan’s Purse.
