Glen Garrett is best known as the founder of The Grasshoppers (1999 Pizza Hut International Bluegrass Showdown Champions) Which garnered them a spot on the famed Doobie Shea record label along with other notable bands such as Mountain Heart, Dan Tyminski, Scotty Sparks, Jeanette Williams, Kane's River, and others. The Doobie Shea release was according to Bluegrass Unlimited, one of 2000's top ten albums. After the bands break-up in 2001, he went on to become a member in Ronnie Bowman's "The Committee" and later with Chris Jones' "Coalition". He is a prolific songwriter penning songs like The Infamous Stringdusters' "Starry Night" (IBMA 2007 Album Of The Year) And co-wrote "The Price Of Admission" for Bradley Walker (IBMA 2007 Male Vocalist). As a sound engineer Glen has spent years on both sides of the microphone giving him a superior advantage when it comes to knowing what the audience AND the performers are listening for... Sparkling instrumentals and Dynamic vocals at a pleasing level without the proverbial dreaded feedback.  He is committed to
"The Sound Of Excellence".
