Garrett Shider aka Starchild Jr

This episode we interview Davey Love’s friend Garrett Shider & talk about P Funk & how Tepper is still angry about the Facebook friend request.Born "on the Mothership" of Parliament-Funkadelic's rise to fame in 1978, Garrett Shider came out of the womb wailing for the hand-me-down diaper of his parent's legacy. Son of P-Funk's guitarist/vocalist Garry Shider, aka Starchild, aka Diaper Man, young Garrett began his life surrounded by his father's infamous funk band. For decades, his father continued touring as an accompanying frontman with the band, giving Garrett his first shots at recording on “Pumpin’ It Up” and a feature on Red Hot Chili Peppers song “Brothers Cup” when he was just seven years old . The wild antics incumbent of the band’s live performances and cult followings inspired Garrett to follow in his father’s legacy while proving his own original talent and carving a future for young African American guitarists. After four decades by the side of George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, Garrett’s father Garry had played P-Funk’s shows all the way up until his passing in 2010, even against doctor’s orders.
