Garen Dorsey

BIO

Although now based in Richmond, I grew up in Charlottesville and first started piano lessons at the age of 5. When I was 12, my love of jazz prevailed over my classical studies and I played my first gig at Fellini’s at 13. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working, performing, and recording almost every genre with incredible artists from Virginia and beyond, including John D’earth, Charles Owens, Kate Bollinger, Erin Lunsford, McKinley Dixon, Tim Green, and many others. My music education in Charlottesville was so formative and I look forward to sharing that experience with a new generation of musicians.
