For Four Decades…
Singer and entertainer Lannie Garrett has brought happiness to the Denver music scene.At age 22, Garrett arrived in Colorado, the beginning of a purposely undefined emigration to the West. Fired from her job as a lunch waitress in Melrose Park, Illinois, she joined her boyfriend on a cross-country road trip. “One of our stops was in Denver and I had never seen anything like it,” she told Colorado Music Hall of Fame board member Patricia Calhoun on one of the Hall’s Front Row & Center virtual episodes. “So we went out to California and on the way back I told him to basically drop me off; I found a little apartment, got a U-Haul and moved out here.”
