Garett Spencley

The music that moves from a Satriani-esque sound through Latin grooves reminiscent of Carlos Santana to a very classic rock sound verging on blues that puts you in mind of B.B. King. Garett Spencley is self described as a vocalist who can't sing and picked up the guitar to find his voice. Coming out of Windsor Ontario Canada, Garett first asked his parents for an electric guitar at the ripe age of 4. Being told by his parents that he should play piano first, Garett took piano lessons until the age of 11 when he was finally bought his first guitar as a Christmas present. Listening to artists such as Nirvana; Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains, Garett wanted to be the lead singer in a band but as he progressed on his instrument he discovered a voice independant of his body. As he developed this skill, Spencley began to listen to soloists such as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaghan. Eventually these artists led him to more modern soloists that have inspired him to further develop his unique sound. In 2006 Garett released his debut full-length solo album titled "RAW".
