Gareth's is of Native American Mi'kmaq/Cree descent on his father's side, and through his mothers lineage, he is descended from Stephen Hopkins, who was on the ship Sea Venture, on a voyage to Jamestown, Virginia in 1609 when the ship wrecked in the "Isle of Devils" (Bermuda). After many months - the castaways built a small ship and were able to sail to Jamestown. Hopkins later sailed on the Mayflower and helped to map out Plymouth Plantation.

1-2-3 is a labor of love, and one of Gareth's best albums yet. All songs were written and produced by Gareth and recorded in Nashville, TN, at Sunset Blvd Studios. These songs are a culmination of spiritual and earthy refections from the rootsy title cut 1-2-3 to the etherial, and entrancing Someone I Never Found. Black Swan is a conversation with death personified, and My World ,was written to bring attention and awareness to autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities. Walking with Angels was written in memory of friend and mentor Jimmy Yellow Horse.
