Garvey is one of the founding members of moe. along with Rob Derhak.[3] Both first played a Halloween show at a friends request in 1989 with drummer Ray Schwartz. He briefly left the band in the summer of 1993 due to personal issues, but returned two months later and "beg[ged] for re-admittance and more abuse."[4][5] Since then, Garvey has been co-guitarist of the band along with Al Schnier.
He was recently voted, along with co-guitarist of moe. Al Schnier, as one of the "Top 20 Guitar Gods" for a Rolling Stone magazine cover story.
