Josh Garrett and the Bottomline
Blues / Funk
Born in New Roads, LA in July 1979, and raised in the bayou town of Houma, LA, Josh Garrett had been entertaining audience all over the country for the last five years with his own style of Louisiana Blues. Garrett’s style is a mixture of LA Blues, New Orleans Funk, Zydeco, and Rock ‘n’ Roll. “I’m drawn to all things Louisiana, it’s my culture and I try to embrace it,” says Garrett. He received an old acoustic guitar from his father when he was eleven years old. “[The guitar] was an old ’76 Alvarez. It was his guitar and he gave it to me. I was glad to get it and I haven’t put it down since.” say Garrett. Josh Garrett honed his skills at local blues jams, and has shared the stage with some of South Louisiana’s most accomplished musicians. “We’ve opened shows for Tab Benoit, Sonny Landreth, Johnny Sansone, Waylon Thibodaux, Chubby Carrier.
