   About Garth Reeves
Spending the last two years in Brooklyn, NY, Garth and touring partner Satchel Jones just released The Blackbird Pies Sessions, a collaborative effort recorded in their respective Brooklyn apartments. Recorded on four track with whomever and whatever was around, The Blackbird Pies Sessions explore their own vision of American music and culture through haunting original songs and slices from the American canon. (www.myspace.com/theblackbirdpies.com)

Garth Reeves' (Blue Spark, Goodness) album Nothing But Time was made using analog tape, an old Trident board, and a tight knit group of Seattle musicians (Jason Staczek, Pete Droge, Rob Brill, Jeff Fielder, Andrew McKeag, Carrie Akre, Danny Newcomb, and Dan Tyack, and others). The result is a stunning and emotional record deeply rooted in tradition. Although Nothing But Time is technically Garth's first solo album, it's his third as band leader, following up two successful albums with his Seattle-based Blue Spark.

From 1995-2000, Garth played in one of Seattle’s best-loved bands, Goodness (Lava/Atlantic, Sony). Garth formed the roots-rock band Blue Spark in 1998 as an outlet for his own songs. Blue Spark toured the Pacific NW, opening for The Jayhawks, Bobby Bare Jr., and Chuck Prophet, releasing two albums along the way, 1998’s Transmitter and 2002’s Venus, Meet the Moon. Blue Spark was nominated in the Americana/Roots category for the Seattle Weekly’s “Best of Seattle” issue in 2003.

If you need me to send a tiny "I heart Brooklyn" shirt for him just let me know, but maybe he's an emerald city boy already, you'll have to ask his brother!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww. I knew there was something I was wanting to do. It was wantin' to see you turn the Tractor on it's ear again. That's what it was. Wish I could be there. The cold snap has snapped here, brother. Now it's thrice as cold since you've left.

Have a great show tonight.

I like this new profile drawing. Sometimes I wish I had drawing skills. My Dad used to draw me amazing elephant pictures when I was a kid. Who draws these pictures? I know Levon can't be at quite this level...yet.

Hey Garth,

That was so much fun talking with you last night while trippin' back to the 70's with all the great music. I got a great shot of you and Jeff raising the Freebird Flag! I'll get it over to you.
