Garrett Howell Brings Listeners Into The Room

On this episode of Dealing the Sound of Mobile, host Eric Erdman sits down with songwriter Garrett Howell, who first picked up a guitar at 19 after returning home from seminary—a run that lasted about one gig. Years later, Garrett found his way back to music. Raised in Lucedale, Mississippi, Mobile always felt like the natural next step. Garrett recently took a leap of faith, leaving his construction job to pursue touring opportunities that have already taken him to California, opening for The Record Company and on the road with Blues Traveler, including a show at the Ryman Auditorium. Garrett performs “Very Best Friend” on the podcast and talks about writing songs that make listeners feel like they’re right there with him.
