Local Musician Garth Edwinson Passes

Good-bye to my friend, band mate, and fellow philosopher Garth Edwinson. No one will ever really understand what your absence will mean to me. ~ J. Gonzo Booth on Fb, 1/10/18

Nathan Stunkel: He was a great friend with great talent. I am at a loss for words! He will be greatly missed.

Jason Lycan: I just learned that a friend and fellow musician took his life yesterday. This has left me and the people that cared about him in pain and disbelief. This Life is short and no matter how bad things are they can get better. If you are having thoughts about suicide please reach out to someone and try to work through things. There is no easy answer for depression but you are not alone in your struggle.

RIP Garth Edwinson you will be missed.

Call the suicide prevention hotline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) at any time for help if you or a friend is struggling.

* The sarod (or sarode) (????) is a stringed instrument, used mainly in Hindustani music. Along with the sitar, it is among the most popular and prominent instruments. The sarod is known for a deep, weighty, introspective sound, in contrast with the sweet, overtone-rich texture of the sitar, with sympathetic strings that give it a resonant, reverberant quality. It is a fretless instrument able to produce the continuous slides between notes known as meend (glissandi), which are important in Indian music.
