Garver is credited with referencing the bar "The Oasis" (after a closed establishment in his hometown of Concordia, Kansas) in the song Friends in Low Places made famous by Garth Brooks.[1] Garver toured extensively with Brooks[2] and as of 2012, Garver has been credited with 25 different albums with roles ranging from musician to composer.[3] BiographyGarver grew up in Concordia, Kansas with his parents, Don and Donna. Garver played in several bands, including the KFDI Ranchhouse Swing Band for about a year, before moving to Nashville, Tennessee. He was working full-time as a bricklayer, and playing in a local band, in 1988 when he attended a writers' showcase one night at the Bluebird Cafe and met Garth Brooks. That same week, after learning that Brooks worked at a boot store, Garver went to the store and the two talked music again. Brooks invited Garver to join his band in May.[4] Shortly afterwards, Garver introduced Brooks to steel guitarist Steve McClure, a fellow Kansan, who also joined Brooks' band, now named Stillwater.[5] Within two months, Brooks signed with Capitol Records.[4] Garver recalled, "I originally started out as a fiddle player for him and he ended up liking my guitar playing better, so that's where I ended up." He added, "I was just happy to have a job."[5] In subsequent years, Garver provided backing vocals and played lead electric guitar, acoustic guitar, banjo, piano, and percussion.[6] Mr. Garver has not performed as a musician since 2000. He and his wife Lana now own and operate Garver Builders, LLC, a commercial and industrial building contractor and developer, in Gallatin, Tennessee.[7] Discography{{Expand section|date=January 2013}}References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.washburn.edu/reference/cks/newsltrs/F2010.pdf|publisher=Washburn University Center for Kansas Studies|title=On the Road with Green River Ordinance|page=6|date=Fall 2010|accessdate=April 26, 2011}} 2. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/?id=OQPa4BAIVxQC&pg=PT110&lpg=PT110&dq=james+garver+garth+brooks|title=The Garth Factor: The Career Behind Country's BigBoom|chapter=Chapter 13: It's a Once-in-a-Lifetime Thing|first=Patsi Bale|last=Cox|accessdate=December 28, 2012|publisher=Hachette oDigital|year=2009|isbn=978-1-599-95275-8}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/james-garver-mn0001261731|publisher=Allmusic|title=James Garver|accessdate=December 28, 2012}} 4. ^1 {{cite news| title=Kansans Love Having Garth as Their Boss: He Acts Like One of the Guys, They Say, But He Doesn't Spoil People, Either.| last=Samms Rush| first=Diane| newspaper=The Wichita Eagle| date=November 15, 1997| page=9A}} 5. ^1 {{cite news| title=Kansans Find Success Playing for Garth Brooks| last=Bates| first=Michael| newspaper=The Daily Union| agency=Associated Press| date=October 18, 1992| page=22}} 6. ^{{cite book| last=Bale Cox| first=Patsi| title=The Garth Factor: The Career Behind Country's Big Boom| edition=| publisher=Center Street| location=New York| year=2009 | isbn=978-1599950990}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Garver Builders, LLC partners |url=http://www.garverbuilders.com/partners.html |accessdate=2014-05-08 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140508154907/http://www.garverbuilders.com/partners.html |archivedate=May 8, 2014 |df= }} External links
