Episode Details

This week, Kodi & Shay sit down with Jeremy Garrett of The Infamous Stringdusters for a deep dive into 🎶 bluegrass roots, jamgrass evolution, and the art of pushing boundaries.

👴 The guys kick things off with some “this is 40” aches & pains before Jeremy reminds them he just turned 50 and is still raging harder than ever.

🎼 From teaching at RockyGrass Camp with his daughter to sharing the story of his one-of-a-kind 1914 Hagberg fiddle (that once survived being tossed down an airport ramp 😱), Jeremy takes us through his journey of family legacy, instrument history, and life on the road.

🌍 He shares the pivotal moments that shaped The Stringdusters — from freelancing in Nashville, to their wild European festival breakthrough, to becoming jamgrass pioneers who helped bridge traditional bluegrass with the jam-scene crowd.

🎧 Jeremy also opens up about:

• ✍️ Writing thousands of songs & balancing band life with a passionate solo career.
• 🏔️ Recording his latest solo album from a cabin on Storm Mountain — blending isolation, grit, and heart into every track.
• 🎶 Why covers (from Avicii to Ozzy) aren’t just fun, but an entry point for new fans into bluegrass.
• 🪕 Collaborating with world-class players like Ryan Cavanaugh and harmonizing with Lindsay Lou.

💿 Plus, Jeremy drops details on his new vinyl release and upcoming Colorado shows, reminding fans to grab an extra-special bonus track when they order directly from his site.

If you love bluegrass, jamgrass, or just stories of chasing your art at full throttle, this episode hits all the right notes. 🎵🔥
