The Gayle Wilson Band + Band in Ashland, OR

ABOUT

20+ years experience as a performing artist. Primarily a vocalist, I also play several instruments including keyboards, guitar and blues harmonica. My bandmates include only the best first-call musicians in the Rogue Valley. Combos range from a duo to 6 pieces and are tailored to suit the venue and the budget. We cover a wide variety of musical styles with an emphasis on jazz standards and blues from the 1930's and '40's, as well as classic rock and blues from the 1950's through the '70's. Weddings, private parties, banquets, fundraisers and concerts. Corporate events are a specialty. This is the most diverse group of musicians in Southern Oregon and the best request band you'll find. Each player brings to the stage many years of experience in all styles of popular music; Big Band, jazz standards, classic rock & blues, reggae and more.
