Album Notes

Josh Garrett and the Bottomline' was formed in 2000, as a three-piece (guitar, bass, and drums). They cut their teeth hosting a blues jam at the Downtown Balcony Pub in Houma, LA. They continued that gig until 2004 when Garrett volunteered for military service in Operation Iraqi Freedom III. He returned from Iraq a "Changed Man" and threw himself back into his music. Immediately, he added a three piece horn section, consisting of Mark Levron on trumpet, Matt "Opie" Chauvin on trombone, and Matt "Iceman" Gros on the saxophone. The horn section added a New Orleans flair to the music, and had become affectionately known as the Bottomline. 'Josh Garrett and the Bottomline' has become known for Garrett's soulful vocals, emotion infused guitar styling, and that New Orleans flair added by the Bottomline. Work is completed on the band's first full length album, "Changed Man", and they have hit the road in support of that album.---------------------"Fat Horns meets Funky Blues." ----THE GUMBO ENTERTAINMENT MAGAZINE.
