…and some appropriate music too!!

And here are a couple of tracks as a bonus!!

1. Andy Garrett’s interest in music began at age 9 when he won a school competition to conduct the Battle Creek Symphony Orchestra. He then took up the guitar at age 10, wrote his first song at age 13, and began teaching professionally at age 16 for the Palmer School of Music. At age 17, he began playing live in various musical ensembles both at school and in his own locally formed bands. At age 22 he then wrote, recorded, and produced his first EP with the band Horizon. They performed at many live shows and went on to back up such acts as Black Oak Arkansas and Rare Earth. Shortly after this, Andy landed a job at a major guitar-string company (Dean Markley/American Winding) as their exclusive string-tester, which landed him in Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine. He also got a degree as an Honor Graduate in Recording Engineering through AIA and started an independent record label called GBM RECORDS with his brother, Jeff Garrett, in 1994 to release promo tapes and CD-R’s of his music throughout the world. In 2004; Andy’s first Interactive Instructional Guitar CD-ROM was released through the best guitar site on the internet “Chops From Hell” demonstrating 200 of his favorite licks, musical sequences, and advanced techniques.
   Today; Andy lives just outside of Nashville, TN….and his music is available word-wide on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, etc….with his latest albums “Futurism”, “Another Way”, “Mysteries”, and “Horizon Remastered” burning up all streaming services! Listen now to “Minstrels”
