BIOGRAPHY
Over the course of his career, Garrett has recorded with more than 150 artists, ranging from Stevie Wonder, Todd Rundgren and Pearls Before Swine to Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt and Martin Mull.
He can be heard on Anne Murray's chart-topping rendition of "Snowbird".
Garrett was born in Detroit, Michigan, USA on November 26, 1941. When he was five, he was moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He studied piano and trombone through the Royal Conservatory of Music of Toronto.
At twelve, Garrett relocated to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where he began
playing guitar at fourteen. There, at the Esquire Club, he would learn
while watching performers such as Ben E.King, T-Bone Walker, Fats Domino
and B.B. King. After an attempt to study English literature at a
university in the USA, he chose a career in music and moved back to
Toronto in 1962.
Garrett's first professional gig was accompanying Mike Settle at Carnegie
Hall in the winter of 1963. Settle was the opening act for comedian Vaughn
Meader.
From 1964 to 1967, Garrett played in the Toronto jug/string band, The
Dirty Shames, which included Chick Roberts, Jim McCarthy and Carol
Robinson. It was during this period that Garrett and Roberts took John
Hammond, Jr. to see Levon & The Hawks for the first time. The Hawks
would later be recommended by Hammond to Bob Dylan.
In 1968, Garrett began a two-year stint of touring and recording with
Canadian duo Ian & Sylvia, which led to becoming a founding member of
Great Speckled Bird. This band is featured in the film Festival Express.
They are shown playing the song "C.C. Rider" with members of the Grateful
Dead and Delaney Bramlett in 1970. As a special feature on the DVD release
of the film, Great Speckled Bird are shown playing the Dylan/Manuel song,
"Tears of Rage".....
