As a performer, connecting with an audience that values one’s music is deeply rewarding. Since 2017, I have focused on bringing live music to retirement communities and senior care centers across Maryland. These performances offer more than entertainment; they create meaningful experiences that foster emotional and spiritual well-being for residents through the power of music and memory.

With over seven years of experience and more than 160 performances annually, I specialize in creating engaging, memorable events tailored to your community. From concerts to happy hours or special occasions, I’m committed to delivering high-quality performances that enrich lives. To book, contact 443-605-4662 or email Pelland.guitar@gmail.com. (Contact@GarrettPelland.com is down for maintenance.)

Let's collaborate to bring the joy of music to your community!

What is an arrangement?

An arrangement is an adaptation of an existing song to be played and retain it’s original character but on a different instrument. Below are some examples of “guitar karaoke” where I play all the parts simultaneously.
