Inspiration takes a decidedly lyrical turn in the music of performers Garnett and Beverly.
Accompanied by Beverly’s acoustic guitar, the two singers combine impeccably blended harmonies and sensitive arrangements with a spirited stage presence to create an experience that is consistently both engaging and uplifting.
Garnett & Beverly call their collaborative effort a “global music ministry.” It’s an apt description given that it has taken them around the United States, to Mexico, South America, Australia and Egypt. Along the way, they have performed with such renowned New Thought speakers and ministers as Dr. Wayne Dyer (The Power of Intention), Gary Zukov (The Seat of the Soul), don Miguel Ruiz (The Four Agreements), Rev. Mary Manin Morrissey (No Less Than Greatness) and Dr. Rev. Kathianne Lewis.
Based in Seattle, Garnett and Beverly perform regularly at local New Thought churches, including Unity of Bellevue, Seattle Unity and Center for Spiritual Living. In addition to these live performances, they have built a strong fan base through their recorded music.
“Your music is not only heartfelt, poetic and inspirational; it is oftentimes just downright fun. No one can listen to the two of you and not be moved at a deep level. That’s what music should do and that’s what you do with music.”
Rev. Dr. Kathianne Lewis - Senior Minister,
Center for Spiritual Living, Seattle, WA
“As a psychotherapist in private practice for 30 years, I have always used music in my work. Recently, when one of my clients graduated from group therapy, I played your ‘Awake and Aware’ in recognition of her significant accomplishment. What a great theme song for many of us!” — Kathy Arcide
The duo first began performing together in 2000 and released the successful CD, “Live Flat Out,” in 2002. However, they each brought 20 years of stage experience to the collaboration, and the depth and diversity of their backgrounds shows in both their shows and their songwriting.
With the completion and release of their second CD, “Christmas” co-produced with Seattle pianist Rob Cook, they are currently working diligently on two CD projects of inspirational music, with planned releases in 2008.
Garnett Hundley is the daughter of an Army chaplain, and grew up singing sacred and classical music in her father’s church. In college, she broadened her musical repertoire when she formed the folk/pop band, Stonehouse, with Mark Brown. The band produced two LPs, performed extensively on the musical theatre stage, and later re-formed as Garnett Brown & Reed, a 3-part-lead-vocal harmony band. In 1988 Hundley co-founded the female trio Sorella, with whom she released the CD, “In Spirit,” in 1999.
Beverly Daugherty says she formed her first band—for a school talent show—when she was 10 years old. Encouraged but unsatisfied by the second-place finish in that contest, she pursued her dream of a musical career in earnest, studying voice and guitar, and playing in many different bands in the LA area. After relocating to Seattle, she released her first solo CD, “Sunday Best,” in 1998, and for the last 10 years has been the Musical Director for Unity of Bellevue.
