Maritri Garrett began sharing her online program, “Reunion of Souls,” with the Facebook community during the pandemic and faithfully continued even after restrictions lifted. Followers who attended regularly began to form friendships and have conversations. It was not just Maritri’s talent that drew people in, in but her talent, uplifting positive, and open personality. Her authentic joy and ability to relate to listeners about the ups and downs of life created strong bonds with those who got to know her, even at a distance through her show.
Few singers talk about stories of love, life, and loss the way Maritri Garrett can. Her bittersweet lyrics tell “grown folks stories” in a poignant way that will break you down to the core. Her mission as a songwriter is to speak life and truth to pain, healing both herself and. She is highly respected as a teacher, singer, pianist, cellist and guitarist, while her reputation as a storyteller has earned her a fiercely loyal following from both her fans and peers. A Howard University graduate, Maritri earned a Bachelor’s degree in music composition and a Master’s in Jazz studies.
Maritri has been invited to share stages with notable artists across different genres, including Barbra Streisand, Gladys Knight, The Five Blind Boys of Alabama, Stanley Jordan, Toshi Reagon, the Indigo Girls, Patti LaBelle, Valerie Simpson, and Ani Di Franco. She has also appeared on BET as a musician and host. She has released the albums Reunion Of Souls, Enter Redemption, and If Only I could Breathe (with guitarist Nick Cassarino). In addition to her solo work, Maritri currently leads the “Soulfolk Experience,” a songwriting collective with fellow songwriters V. Jeffrey Smith and David Pilgrim. Her material is prominently featured on their compilation releases The Soulfolk Experience, Vol. 1 and their recently released Soulfolk Experience, Vol. 2.
