About.
Ohio native, Christian Starrett, started playing guitar at the age of 8 after watching his father play in Ohio blues band, Cadillac Sam and the Syndicate. Christian joined the band at the young age of 13, playing tenor/ alto saxophone and guitar with his father.
After years of honing his skills and gaining experience, Christian is a versatile guitarist with deep stylistic knowledge of Country, Rock, Blues, Rockabilly, Jazz, and Bluegrass.

Christian has played and/or recorded with Nashville artists such as Cole Ritter and The Night Owls, Joshua Quimby, Gloria Anderson, Holdyn Barder, Faith Alexa, Grace Tyler, and Aidan Madden. He is instantly recognizable by his wide-brimmed cowboy hats and his favorite guitar, an orange Gretsch 6120.
