About
Garrett DeVaughn
The Mad Uke-Bard
Garrett DeVaughn—known as The Mad Uke-Bard—is an artist who breaks from expectations with four strings and an untamed creative energy. Taking detours from traditional gentle strumming, DeVaughn transforms the ukulele into a rock and metal driven vehicle for storytelling, blending classic troubadour theatricality with a modern, rebellious edge.
As part of the disabled community living with mild cerebral palsy, DeVaughn channels his lived experience into a resilient perspective that fuels his craft. He constructs his music from personal introspection, real-time commentary, dissecting current events, and societal absurdities.
His sets bridge the gap between folklore and contemporary grit. Delivering intricate melodies and sharp wit, DeVaughn provides a thought-provoking and engaging act. He is a guaranteed conversation-starter for festivals, clubs, and listening rooms seeking truly unique talent.
“"Garrett DeVaughn is a unique and highly skilled performer who captivates audiences with his genre-blending auditory experience"”
- Stu Miller, Stargazer Studios
“Garrett’s lyrical style is where alt rock meets whimsy. He’s introspective and imaginative tunes had us reflecting on some stark realities of life, while also laughing along with his creative perspectives.”
- Arlene Ivette, Artist and Painter
