Gary Davenport has been performing and recording for the last 34 years. His first exposure to a wider audience was through the band "Mannequin" of which he was the founding member. The band released two EPs in 1979 and 1980 released on Closet Records; a label established by Gary and ex-Mannequin member Mark Champion. Mannequin had also recorded music for an LP that was never issued. 

From 1981 to 1982, a side project with Himmel was a creative outlet with fellow Mannequin member, Steve Sanchez and also Henry Arispe and Art Sarkis.
After several incarnations from 1976 until 1983, Gary and Steve closed the door on Mannequin. In 1984, Gary's next endeavor was with Red Square; a creative rock group with Will Willard on lead guitar, Steve Sanchez on bass, and Karl Yelderman on drums. The band released one album that enjoyed critical success and did well locally. Red Square dissolved in 1988. 

In 1985, a compilation album, "As Raindrops Become Ocean" was issued on Closet Records featuring various artists from the San Antonio area.


In 1992, Gary released his first solo recording on cassette, "Vita Nova". It was re-issued on CD on the MuseMyth label in October of 2011 and is available here at the MuseMyth Recordings store. 
Taking a break from performing or recording, Gary once again began the process in 1994 that would become "Wonder Slips Away" which was released in April 2010.
