Known for featuring the region’s best musical ensembles, as well as giving local singers, songwriters, and writers a chance to build community through their art, this monthly gathering offers a listener-friendly open mic opportunity and welcoming environment for folks to listen and perform.

Featured Performer:

Garrett's love affair with music began in the most charming of ways: as a pint-sized member of a traveling family band. It was a hectic life, being on the road so much, but amid the chaos, Garrett found his groove — and it wasn't just the rhythm of the road.

With every pit stop and performance, his passion for music deepened. He learned that music isn’t just about the notes; it’s about the stories, the connections, and the euphoric rush of a live audience. Whether he’s plucking the strings of his bass or coaxing melodies out of his beloved piano, Garrett brings a unique flair to every performance that leaves listeners tapping their feet and grinning from ear to ear.

Now, as a seasoned musician, he blends genres and styles like a culinary wizard whipping up a gourmet dish. One moment, you might catch him serenading a cozy café with soulful acoustic tunes; the next, he’s laying down funky bass lines that would make even the most stoic of folks want to dance. And let’s not forget his melodica — a hidden gem in his arsenal that adds a whimsical touch to his eclectic sound.

In a world where many seek to fit into a box, Garrett proudly embraces his musical mischief. He’s a reminder that life is a symphony, and we’re all just trying to find our key — or at the very least, the right chord to strum. So, if you ever find yourself in a venue where Garrett is performing, be prepared for a delightful journey through sound, laughter, and perhaps a touch of familial nostalgia.
