Extended Bio:
Noted for his talents as a multi-instrumentalist, Darren Garvey is an active performer and studio session musician.
A true creative force in Chicago drumming and beyond, Garvey explores both traditional and invented/extended techniques on all of his various instruments. While Darren's unique style comes from developing mostly as a self-taught musician, he also studied under Glenn Kotche, Michael Zerang, and William Moersch.
By the age of seventeen, Garvey started focusing on percussion. His commitment to Music eventually earned him a Percussion Performance and Jazz Studies degree from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. In his final year of study, he joined the Andreas Kapsalis Trio.
Garvey's percussion set up with the AK Trio includes hand drums, glockenspiel, melodica, ocean harp, and toy instruments from around the globe.
He performs at a variety of venues, including the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland and renowned jazz club La Zorra y el Cuervo in Havana, Cuba.
He records and performs with various groups and ensembles, while appearing on over thirty music recordings.
Darren is currently recording his first solo album, due for release in 2010.
