Garret T. Willie is an old soul that you have to check out. The rock and blues guitarist truly channels classic blues and rock with his music. He has just released his new track, Love Hangover and it is epic! Garret commenting about the new song,

“That’s one that Parker really took the lead on. He was, like, ‘I wanna write a really good, radio-ready banger.’ So I said ‘Okay, let’s do it.’ He started playing me this drum loop that, I swear, he just ripped from Gary Glitter’s ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll’ and I looked at him right away and he said ‘Don’t fuckin’ give me that look, just riff over it. Just trust me on this.’ So I kept trying and trying and trying and playing this and that, playing this and that, this and that, until finally I gotiff, the one that’s on the record. And then he said ‘I like that. Do it again.’“The song is about this one Muse, I guess you could say, that I had at that point in my life and that I kept going to. I knew it wasn’t healthy for me and I knew I wasn’t doing that great, so when I finally realized ‘I really can’t stay here anymore and I have to make my way back home,’ that’s where that phrase ‘Love Hangover’ kinda came from – because I was always all hung over and mixed up from opening and re-opening the same door that should just be left shut. Everything you hear in there is pretty much what it’s about.”

The song is absolutely addictive. The guitars are infectious and emotive vocals are truly captivating. You will be singing along in no time. This is one artist that is a force to be reckoned with! You can stream/buy the song here: https://orcd.co/gtwlovehangover

More about Garret here

Garret T. Willie is an old soul masquerading as an uncommonly wise, weathered, witty and world-weary 23-year-old and he’s about to give rock ‘n’ roll a formidable 21st -century kick in the ass. Garret T. Willie hails from Kingcome Inlet, off the coast of British Columbia but while Willie’s back story also gives him more right than most to sing the blues – and at heart, Garret T. Willie is a rock ‘n’ roller – he’d rather that not be the whole story. Willie is the personification of an open book in the lyric sheet to his upcoming debut record Same Pain. What he offers the world is something it has genuinely been missing for awhile: a contemporary take on hardscrabble blues and the purest and rawest rock ‘n’ roll to follow its teachings thereafter. He’s studiously schooled in all the right source material, from Howlin’ Wolf, Albert King and Muddy Waters to Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis to The Rolling Stones, Ten Years After, AC/DC, Stevie Ray Vaughan, George Thorogood and everyone else who’s carried the torch into the present, with a little Johnny Cash and Hank Williams thrown in for some outlaw-country flavour on the side.

And that’s why, on Same Pain, Garret T. Willie can not only really rip it up on the guitar, but also with the gut-busting honesty of someone who understands that if you ain’t lived it, you shouldn’t sing it. At least that’s the way it is for him.

Garret will be touring in support of his new music and I hope you can catch one of his shows:
