Trout Basket
Garrett Benjamin is a Bozeman native who has diligently followed his passion for music for many years, his strong songwriting pays homage to the greats that came before him and is deeply rooted in bluegrass and Americana. He has honed his sound over the years by playing as many shows as he could possibly book, both solo and with dozens of other bands. When not playing, he dedicates his time to studying the art of music and teaching his knowledge to those who wish to learn from him.
Brendan Fox is a Helena native who is the son of the legendary Murphy Fox. His father instilled country, bluegrass and folk music in Brendan from an early age. His father's influence made Brendan decide to pursue a degree in Upright Bass performance from Rocky Mountain College of music, where he graduated in 2015.
Garrett and Brendan have been playing music together since they first met in 2019, and have been the core backup band for too many bands to name here, making them a driving force of the underground music scene in Montana.
They are most often joined by Lily Johnson on fiddle and Luke Gladis on mandolin. These two add rich and deep harmonies that give Trout Basket another layer of complexity to the beautiful songwriting.
