Tacoma’s own Nolan Garrett will take the stage at The Spar this Saturday, September 6, at 7 p.m.

“Garrett’s musical path is a full-circle journey full of adventure and nostalgia. As a child in Tacoma, he picked up the guitar at eight, writing his first song at nine inspired by a Dr. Seuss tale. In one of his earliest gigs, he performed “Folsom Prison Blues” in front of a crowd of 200—his first audience outside of family. Between ages nine and sixteen, he relentlessly gigged, wrote, toured the Pacific Northwest, and even opened for acts like Chris Isaak at a sold-out show at Chateau St. Michelle”.
