Dan Garrett started playing guitar at the age of nine.  At age 13 he began

to play the organ for his parents’ tent and church evangelistic ministry. His father and mother both played and sang, and traveled to preach and sing their gospel music. He and his eight siblings were included in the services. In the 70’s Dan started his own music ministry, playing guitar and writing and singing his own contemporary gospel material. As he gained a love of the banjo (his dad played a tenor banjo), at age 23 he learned the instrument and worked it into his ministry. In 1989 he formed the gospel family group “The Garrett Family”, which consisted of his mother (Geneva) his sister (Debra) and his brother (Mark). Their music was influence by such artists as Dallas Holm and The Marshall Family. They also created their own unique style and sound. In 1994 Dan founded the Bluegrass group “Limited Edition” which has been performing for over fifteen years. The music is a blend of progressive driving bluegrass and solid gospel, and includes much of Dan’s original material. After retiring from his job of 37 years, Dan is now able to go out on his own, focusing on Christian venues and performing contemporary, traditional, & bluegrass gospel music, as God has been prompting him to do.
