At the time, music was just a three-chord hobby that politely traveled along with all these endeavors—until he saw an ad for a local open mic, to which Garrett immediately said, “I’ll never do that.” Before those words finished leaving his mouth he remembered “Do something that scares you” and immediately knew that he had to do it. “I probably sang those 3 songs quicker than I could say the ABCs, but I did it… nerve-racking as hell, but I did what I set out to do,” Garrett said, reminiscing on the moment his music career officially made an appearance. From there, it was the challenge of writing a song and performing it. The Garrett Shultz we know today has not stopped pursuing things that scare him. Always pushing boundaries in songwriting and crafting new ways to make live performances better, Garrett believes it has undoubtedly shown through his insatiable work ethic and innovation in 2020. While inside bars and venues were shut down, touring came to a stop, except for Garrett Shultz and his band. Fabricating a mobile stage from a box trailer, they were able to take their show on the road.
