A band born around a campfire.  That is essentially what it comes down to when talking about Garrett and the Sheriffs.  After working together at a beloved summer camp, Garrett Hendricks, Peter Erickson, and Danny Grasseschi formed Garrett and the Sheriffs out of a communal love of music.  The birth of the band out of vivid summers spent in the great outdoors gives the music a rootsy grit and an organic soul.  With influences ranging from the Zac Brown Band and Johnny Cash to the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam, Garrett and the Sheriffs embrace the rich history of Americana and folk music while always looking forward.  After gaining a foothold in Bellingham, the band released an eight song EP of both home recorded and studio produced songs all written and arranged by Garrett, Peter, and Danny.  With the addition of Sarah Elder the band hopes to take their rugged Americana music to the rest of Washington and hopefully beyond.
