Music scene · Garrett

Garrett is a small DeKalb County city with a working-class and agricultural character. Music here has revolved around school bands, church choirs, and country played at local bars and community events. Fort Wayne-area musicians often supply regional gigs.

The high school auditorium, church fellowship halls, and American Legion hall host most performances. Local bars or restaurants may feature country cover bands, while the county fairgrounds draw seasonal crowds.

Local and regional artists perform here, with musicians from the nearby Fort Wayne scene occasionally passing through.

Check the American Legion hall and fairgrounds calendar for event openings. School ensembles and church choirs help younger musicians get started, while Fort Wayne has more venues for those ready to branch out.
