Defined by many spiritual dimensions, Garland is an entertainer's entertainer.  Pure Energy!  As the front man for Soul Session, the audience must "strap-in" for a commanding emotional journey.  Garland's skills were sharpened over 5+ years as the lead singer/emcee of New York Players (a touring entertainment band).  His recent projects include recipient of NYS 2007 SPAF Artist Grant, Jingle work for F.Y.E., "Bill Withers Tribute" show producer (2004), New York State Representative in 2000's National Singing Championship (Pro-Sing), Music Director of Skidmore College's Gospel Choir (Quiet Storm).  Garland's performances have been described as an experience and not just a show!
