"Producer"

"Garrett has an incredibly charismatic style - you can just see people immediately engaged as he starts performing. It's a rare combination when you can impress adults with the depth and emotion of your polished songs while making the teenage girls go
crazy. That's Garrett for you." - Jake Johnson


"Vision Enterprises"

"Garrett Ramquist can break your heart with his powerful vocals, driving guitar, and soulful lyrics. With looks reminiscent of a young John Rzeznik, you'll love to watch Garrett perform." - Len Mormino


"Paradyme Productions"

"I've had the distinct pleasure of producing songs in the studio with Garrett. He's always finding new ways to creatively spin an idea and keep things fresh for the listener. As a perfectionist, he puts everything he has into his songs and performances. A great guy to work with and a great person overall." - Studio

Bio

In todays music scene it's hard to separate fact from fiction. Every artist bio you read, every music review you see claims so and so is the new Dylan, Led Zeppelin, or Rolling Stones. What you never really hear about is someone being original, honest...real. Garrett Ramquist is real. A compelling, versatile performer whose soulful voice and sincere beliefs come through in every ounce of his music. At only twenty three years of age this Wisconsin based singer/songwriter is ready to do what most musicians only dream about in their press releases, make a difference.

Garrett has recently completed recordings for his third CD “Where We Start Living” and like his previous solo releases “Twenty Thousand Dreams” and "Silhouette of Me" it is a strong representation of Ramquist's strong beliefs and tremendous passion. Exploring complex relationships both emotionally and spiritually “Where We Start Living” was recorded at the renown Paradyme Studios in Madison, WI and produced by Jake Johnson who took time out of his busy schedule especially for this project! Featuring a full backing band and amazing arraignments on songs like “Haunted”, “Walk With Me”, and “What I Need to Say” drawing comparisons to bands like the Goo Goo Dolls, Switchfoot, and Lifehouse.

In his freshman year in a small town in Wisconsin, Garrett picked up his first guitar and started writing songs almost immediately. It wasn’t long until other folks were clamoring to hear those songs and Garrett's unique voice. Not surprisingly he comes from a long line of musicians who sight both secular and gospel backgrounds. Shortly after the release of his debut CD Garrett began receiving e-mails literally from around the world, all of whom were moved by his stirring performance and incomparable message of hope in the face of desperation. One thing became clear, they all wanted to hear more!

These days, Garrett’s sights are tightly focused on exposing his music and ability to the world. He prides himself on his fan interaction and touching the hearts of his audience, which he easily does with his sincerely portrayed work. It's no wonder that Garrett is quickly becoming a favorite in the Midwest and it's not surprising that he'll soon be known in more households around the country. Catch him soon at a venue near you! I'm certain you'll be amazed at just how different Garrett Ramquist really is.
