GETLIN IS THE SOLO PROJECT OF OREGON NATIVE MIKE GETLIN. AFTER YEARS AS A KEYBOARD PLAYER IN ROCK AND BLUES BANDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, HE STEPPED OUT FRONT FOR HIS FIRST FULL MULTI-INSTRUMENTAL PRODUCTION: SOUTHERN AND ROOTS ROCK CARRYING THE IMPRINT OF 90S ALTERNATIVE, BUILT ON COUNTRY AND AMERICANA BONES. FIRM GUITARS, A RHYTHM THAT RUNS LIKE AN ENGINE, AND ROUGH, EMOTION-LADEN VOCALS THAT KEEP THE AMERICAN WEST AT THE CENTER OF THE RECORD.

HIS DEBUT ALBUM STAY LEADS WITH 500 MILES TO RENO AND RUNS THROUGH BLACKTOP, OREGON SUNSHINE, AND CHAOS CALLED LOVE. GETLIN IS MANAGED BY THE DAVY AGENCY.

"I wasn't trying to make a statement," says GETLIN. "Just trying to finish something before I got interrupted."
