Steve Wainwright who was a founding member of The Garrison Bros and prior to that The New Folk Trio, passed away peacefully Thursday morning April 23, 2009, at his home in Marblehead Mass.
He is survived by his wife, Margaret; daughters, Tammy and Beth and their families.
His musical career took him and his groups across North America, but their many engagements throughout the Maritimes in the 70s and 80s were the road-trips they looked forward to the most. The Garrison Bros. are probably best remembered for their version of “Song for the Mira†which became an arrangement standard for that song, but Steve was also a prolific lyricist and wrote the lyrics to the Garrison Bros.’ own hit “Silver Seaâ€.
Steve is also survived by his bandmates, Eugene Byrne, Kevin Evans, and Paul DuJohn as well as former Garrison Bros members, Bob O’Donovan, Peter Miguel and Lonnie Jones and many loyal fans across the region.
Services have not been finalized but will be held in Marblehead. Arrangements are being made through Eustis & Cornell Funeral Home, 142 Elm Street, Marblehead MA 01945.
