Denver — Swallow Hill Music Association is pleased to present an evening of stellar pickin' on Friday, December 14 at 8 p.m. with a double billing: Jeremy Garrett and the Indigenous Players joined by the Colorado Playboys.

Since moving to Nashville a few years ago, Jeremy Garrett has turned heads with his soulful lead and tenor vocals, dynamic fiddle playing, and intense stage presence. Raised in Idaho, he began fiddling as a child, cementing his skills with a stint in the Bluegrass and Country Music degree program at South Plains College in Levelland, Texas, where he was named Bluegrass Male Vocalist of the Year in 1996. 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 released their first record, Fork In The Road, on the Sugar Hill label on February 13, 2007 to wide critical acclaim, winning awards in three categories at the IBMA Convention and award show (Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Emerging Artist). Dolly Parton said of the album, "I guarantee you will love this CD if you love bluegrass. I have listened to it over and over. ...You will be hearing more from The Infamous Stringdusters." Jeremy comes to Swallow Hill with a new incarnation, the Indigenous Players, a string band super group comprised of Gene Libbea, Dominick Leslie, Robin Davis and Keith Reed. Colorado has "some of the best musicians in the world," Jeremy says, speaking of the group he has assembled for this dynamic performance.

The Colorado Playboys will also take the stage. This band is comprised of top-notch musicians who have played or currently play in other bands: Andy Thorn, formerly with Larry Keel & Natural Bridge, on banjo; Travis Book, also a member of the Infamous Stringdusters, on bass; John Frazier of Hit and Run Bluegrass on mandolin; and Jon Stickley of The Biscuit Burners on guitar. In addition, Thorn, Book and Stickley were members of the Rockygrass-winning band, Broke Mountain.

With all these amazing players, Jeremy says it will be a "mixed bag," everything from bluegrass to swing. This one-of-a-kind night will be an auditory delight for all ages.
