“At only 20 years old, Garrett Huffman has accomplished an impressive amount of career milestones since teaching himself how to play the guitar during the pandemic of 2020.  His original music landed him a record deal with Iron Gate Records, an endorsement deal with Willow Creek Guitars, and has signed with multiple entertainment agencies.

Garrett has amassed countless fans across the United States and, on January 20, 2024, Garrett was bestowed with the esteemed “2023 Carolina CMA Entertainer of the Year” award by the Carolina Country Music Association at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, SC.  His victory was fueled by the overwhelming support of his fan base, earning him the highest number of votes ever recorded in the history of the competition.

Garrett has graced the stage at over 350 shows across North and South Carolina, as well as Tennessee, since his performance debut in 2021.” (From garretthuffman.com/presskit)
