He is the purveyor of a unique urban strain of acoustic folk music incorporating a number of diverse influences, including: latin rhythms, blues, gospel, Celtic and more. The result is a musical blend that has excited and touched audiences throughout the Northwest. The sound has strong rhythmic underpinnings, beginning with Garrett's almost percussive guitar style. The guitar work spans the gamut from folk/latin/blues rhythms to even more personal styles. His singing reflects the folk/rock/gospel traditions with which he grew up.
