AMOS GARRETT has been playing for more than 40 years - and his list of credits is exhaustive. Born in the United States, he moved to Canada with his family when he was four. After playing with various local groups in Montreal and Toronto, and an attempt to study English literature at university, he chose a music career.His first fully professional gig was with a JFK impersonator called Vaughn Meador (and was at Carnegie Hall to boot). As his career unfolded, he took part in the sessions for Anne Murray that gave the world "Snowbird," went on the road with Ian and Sylvia and the Great Speckled Bird, played the classic solo on Maria Muldaur's "Midnight at the Oasis" and was her bandleader for six years, was a member of Paul Butterfield's legendary band Better Days, and won a Juno Award for his work on a classic Stony Plain album called "The Return of the Formerly Brothers" with the late Doug Sahm and pianist Gene Taylor.
