Garrison Starr is the quintessential musical triple-threat, singer, songwriter, Grammy-nominated record producer, and her soon-to-be-released latest full-length album, GarrisonStarr and The Gospel Truth, reveals her at the height of her powers.Starr calls the new collection of songs, “Swamp Gospel Hymns for Humans,” the nextchapter in her story of recovery and healing from her Evangelical Christian upbringing. Herprevious album, “Girl I Used To Be,” released during the pandemic in March 2021, launchedher exploration of deconstruction on the path towards self-love and forgiveness. “Girl IUsed To Be” is the story of saying goodbye to what was, and The Gospel Truth is the story ofthe journey over the bridge to freedom.
