“At the junction of Scottish traditional music, Minimalism, and groove, Skinnerism teases out snippets of James Scott Skinner's melodies and recontextualizes these now classic traditional session standards”
Multi-instrumentalist Garrett Cameron is mesmerized by pulses and non-metered rhythms, musical recycling, complete concepts, hocketing and linear melody, smushed tonalities, and experimental limiting. He is currently focused on the mandolin and bodhrán, exploring the intersection of Scottish/Cape Breton traditional music, Minimalism, and free improvisation.
Garrett has shared the stage with Bonnie Prince Billy, William Tyler, Robert Randolph & the Family Band, James Montgomery, The Weight Band, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, and Eric Gales (among many others), been featured on NPR and PBS for a project with NASA researcher Dr. Matt Melis with half-composed/half-improvised silent film scoring group Duo Approximate, studied drum set with Dave DiCenso and Billy Martin, and won the Granite State Blues Challenge in 2018 with the band MoGuitar.
He can be found playing mandolin and vibraphone with Lissa Schneckenburger, and playing drums/keyboard bass in Nelson, NH psychedelic folk band Party of the Sun.
