About Me
I am a fiddle player and singer in a band called The Infamous Stringdusters. We have a Record out on Sugar Hill Records called "Fork In the Road". It was nominated for three awards at the 2007 IBMA convention and award show(International Bluegrass Music Association), including: Song of the year (Fork In the Road), emerging artist of the year and album of the year. We are excited to announce that we won all three awards including a first ever tie in the album of the year category with J.D. Crowe. I also have a Gospel record that I recorded with my dad Glen, self titled "Jeremy Garrett and Glen Garrett". It is an all bluegrass gospel album and has a 23 guests who play and sing with us. Some of them include: The Infamous Stringdusters, Chris Jones, Alicia Nugent, Audie Blaylock, Wyatt Rice, Jim Hurst and many more.

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 the fall of 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. The Infamous Stringdusters are Sugar Hill recording artists. Their first record was released February 13th, 2007 and won three awards at the IBMA 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.
