Jan Garrett and JD Martin are award-winning independent singer-songwriters  who live and create their music in the mountains of Colorado.  When they met in 1995 they had each been writing, recording, and performing their own music for many years as accomplished solo artists.

JD is an acclaimed songwriter of 5 Number One and 10 Top Ten country and pop hit singles.  His songs have been recorded by such luminaries as Reba McEntire, Terri Clark, B.J. Thomas, Peter Cetera (from the band Chicago), and the Oak Ridge Boys.  A native of Virginia, JD is a deep heart who knows that the music IS the message.  He has won over 15 ASCAP awards for excellence in songwriting in Nashville and LA.

Jan is a jazz singer, award-winning songwriter, master vocal coach, poet, wilderness vision quester, meditation student, certified laughing instructor, and mother of identical twin daughters.  She has toured with John Denver, Steve Martin and the Dirt Band, and has appeared on the Tonight Show.  Hidden talents include:  Writing backwards in longhand, and reciting fairy tales inside-out.  Jan is also listed in the Rolling Stone “Who’s Who in Rock & Roll” (tiny little print.)

Garrett & Martin’s music is described as “refreshing, rich and intelligent.....a velvet-hammer wake-up call as satisfying to the soul as it is to the ear.....beautifully crafted songs to open the heart and refresh the spirit.”  They have each been nominated for  this year’s New Thought Songwriters Tribute Awards.  Jan’s song “I Dreamed of Rain” took first place in the 2006 New Thought healing category, and won honors with Just Plain Folks.

Both Jan and JD are seasoned performers, keynote presenters, and wise teachers of Authentic Voice, and the Soul of Songwriting.  In live performance they offer a delightful blend of luscious vocals, good humor, and masterful lyrics inspired from a broad spiritual perspective. This is feel-good music with depth and integrity, audience satisfaction guaranteed.
