Garry
began his music career at the age of ten and wrote his first song at
the age of fourteen. He is an accomplished musician and
singer-songwriter and has accumulated a vast repertoire of original
and cover songs. Garry
resides in the Bega Valley on the beautiful Sapphire Coast of NSW. He
originates from the Monaro Region, born in a small country town
called Delegate (pop. 700), where he was raised within an immediate
and extended family of avid musicians.
In
2001 Garry was the outright winner of the Merimbula Country Music
Talent Quest winning both Singer-Songwriter and Recorded Songwriter
sections.
During
2003 he made the pilgrimage to Tamworth, buoyed by his local success,
and entered the Tamworth Songwriters’ Assoc. Tiara Awards, and was
rewarded with a berth amongst the finalists. That same year Garry was
a finalist in the Steel City Champion of Champions in Newcastle and
came third in the National Champion of Champions showcase in
Canberra. In 2005 he again entered the Tamworth Songwriters’ Assoc.
songwriting contest and again was reward with two songs amongst the
finalists.
Garry
has just finished recording his latest album Mogareeka
Moon featuring
a combination of many different aspects of his musical versatility.
Recorded at Rolling Wheel Studio in Orange NSW by Pat O’Donnell of
O’Donnell Brothers fame. Mogareeka
Moon is a
sweet and sassy collection of ten original songs by Garry which are a
testament to the hard graft he has put in since he wrote his first
song at the age of 14. The first single was released was “Moonshine
and Whiskey” which made the top 30 of the country music
charts. The song “Mogareeka Moon” was a semi-finalist
in the International Songwriting Competition.
“The
Poddydodgers” released a country rock album called Spirited
featuring fifteen original songs all written by Garry, with the
single “Jack Frost” getting airplay on CMC. Garry also recorded
an acoustic album Atonement
featuring 13 heart felt original songs. His band "Mojo"
released an Ep called Sunrise
with six originals and one cover.
