Mix some mesmerizing, bluesy guitar licks, ala Robin Trower with awesome harmonies, pour in a sizzling portion of Heart's Ann Wilson-influenced vocals, and add an inspirational dose of ballsy blues rock in the vein of Bonnie Raitt and you'll get a smoking, hot serving of 'RETRO ROCK' ,
that is the essence of GARRETT, formerly known as Snakes-n-Angels.
They are a veteran rock group from eastern North Carolina. 2008 is the first 'official' year of GARRETT!!
They have 2 strong, dynamic vocalists, which gives the listener a variety of styles to listen to. Their music combines an edgy modern rock sound with a flair for the bluesy style as well as their own unique flavor from the South.
NANNETTE GARRETT goes up in the stratosphere with her dynamic, powerful lead vocals, while keeping the low end rumbling with her bass guitar. Her biggest influence is from the Wilson sisters of Heart for songwriting and especially from Ann Wilson on inspiring her singing style since the age of 12. She still loves listening to Heart, Journey, Whitesnake, Styx, RUSH, KISS, and many great 70's rock groups.
WILLIAM GARRETT provides bluesy and soulful, lead guitar work as well as a 2nd set of strong, powerful rock vocals. His biggest guitar influence is Robin Trower for his wonderful bluesy guitar work. He has several rock band influences, including many 70's groups like RUSH, KISS, Journey, Styx, Scorpions, UFO, Pat Travers, and too many more to list.
In their career, Snakes-n-Angels played in venues all over the southeast US as well as DC, NYC, and Los Angeles. From the Hard Rock Cafe' in Atlanta to Otto's Shrunken Head in NYC and many,many bars and clubs in their home state of NC.
Their 2000 debut cd, Scenes From a 100 Acre Wood, was played on over 165 college radio stations in 2000 and 2001.
Their 2002 release, Back 2 The Weasel Ranch was played on over 62 college stations and is still on several internet radio broadcasts. Over the last 8 years, they have appeared on many compilation cds in different states and won various internet music awards for favorite songs and vocals.
William Garrett released his solo debut in late 2004. You can hear all of his songs on www.cdbaby.com/all/hoot
In 2005, Nannette and William
recorded a tribute song, 'A Cry For Love', (dedicated to the Hurricane
Katrina survivors) at Diesel Productions, a recording studio in Durham, North
Carolina. They were accompanied on drums by Kim Ramsey and ..boards by
Terri Dellinger.
Recording a song for the people of New Orleans was the brainstorming idea of
Mrs. Dellinger and her music students. A Williamston native and Raleigh music
teacher, she had earlier recorded a cd with her students for Tsunami victims.
They raised over $5,000 from the sales of that cd.
Her husband, Benny Dellinger, guitarist of NANTUCKET, recorded,
engineered, and produced both of the recordings. He recorded 1,200 of her music
students singing the chorus of GARRETT's new song as well as Josh Groban's
'You Raise Me Up'.
GARRETT held a concert on Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 at the Durant Road Elementary
School in Raleigh. Performing ..boards was Mrs. Dellinger and on drums
was David Clark of Washington.
Over 250 people were in attendance and they sold all of the cds there that
night. About 100 students ranging in ages from 5-11, grades K-5, were there to
sing 'A Cry For Love' with the band and also sign language and sing 'You Raise
Me Up'. Garrett performed Love's Hard To Find, Girl Like You and 2 Ships
from their latest cds.
The school's art teacher, Karen Byers, designed and painted the art for the
cd cover. The original piece was auctioned after the concert for $125.
The cds
are $5 and can still be purchased by placing orders with Mrs. Dellinger directly at
[email protected].
Profits are donated to help Hurricane Katrina
survivors. Totals to date are at $2,200.00.
'A Cry For Love' was the No. 17 song for Jan. 2008 at the Outlaw's online radio station. It was in the company of Aerosmith,Lynyrd Skynyrd, Van Zant, Molly Hatchet, and others. Thanks for listening and voting for us!!

Wow! This music smokes! The vocals switch off between male and female leads that fit together like magic and mystery. The female vocals will rip your soul out. Very impressive rock vocals that scream with passion and sex appeal. The male lead has a blues rock depth that kicks you in the gut and makes you beg for more. The music is a powerful rock groove that bleeds with passion and fire. I have to say I was very impressed by this music. The heavy blues rock influence is very alluring to me. Every song has an enjoyable quality that is a template for real rock 'n roll. I had a good time listening to this music. For some reason, it made me want to break out the beer and call my friends over for a party. That's the feeling of this music. Loose and crazy feelings of a good time. Nothing makes music better than that.

As founder of this website, I get to listen to a ton of music (well, some of it is music). Most of what I get is what I term "once and done music", meaning I'm looking for any excuse to pull the plug on the CD shortly after it starts playing. Scenes from a 100 Acre Wood, held my interest from beginning to end and again and again. When this band rocks, THEY ROCK, when they do a ballad, you end with a lump in your throat! The combination of male and female vocals allows the CD to have plenty of contrast as neither singer tries to steal the show. Snakes-n-Angels is no work in progress. They are one full steam ahead band that has a real future.....
Charlie Harrelson- Founder of EvO:R.com
"Are you in the mood for some good old-fashioned rock music? Snakes-n-Angels would be a great start. They are an all-around good pop/rock band with a penchant for the blues. They have memorable melodies & catchy hooks, and their style ranges from the dark, piano-laden, "Secret Love," to the down-n-dirty, "Caveman". If you got the blues & want to rock out, get "Scenes From A 100 Acre Wood" and you'll feel a lot better."

Snakes-n-Angels exist as a manifestation of musical fantasy meets the blues. There is nothing like them in their song approach. They have a parameter of infinite variable paint colors to swath over the canvas
The thunder lights up the sky & well have to hyperbole & segue through the blues, to meet Snakes-n-Angels at the beginning of the audio pathway to higher ground.. ..
The spirit & music of Snakes-n-Angels is eternal.
