Trent Gardner

Trent Gardner was the fourth born of five children (three brothers and one sister). His was a musical family, with his father playing clarinet and singing in various groups, and his mother starting him off on piano. His musical exploration began at the age of 9. The catalyst according to him was, "my sister kept playing Magical Mystery Tour, Three Dog Night, and some other psychedelic stuff over and over. I just kind of freaked out over it."

Trent's musical tastes eventually went in the direction of the 1970s prog outfits, but also included a keen interest in Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire and Blood, Sweat & Tears.
