Gaeyle Gerrie Known throughout the North Country for her lively soul-touching vocals, Gaeyle is a favorite of festivals and parades for her clear and heart-ringing rendition of our National Anthem. In love with music from the cradle, Gaeyle's voice reflects the experience of a seasoned professional with the inherent sweetness of youth.
Gaeyle takes great joy indulging in the melting pot of her All-American heritage and finds delight in playing folk, celtic, country, the blues and worship songs.
NOW:
She now works as an independent artist with a variety of musicians in the Boyne area, most notably the band "The Hooligan's", violiinist and Master Fiddler, John Richey and fingerstyle guitarists Daniel House and Bill Wilson.
Gaeyle's love for the music of her Scot/Irish heritage takes on a new dimension when she founded the Boyne Celtic Session in 2008. Her energy and voice give a vibrant and soul-touching dimension to songs and tunes alike. THEN: Gaeyle's Scots-Irish great grandparents settled in the Boyne Area at the turn of the 1900's but Gaeyle the daughter of a career Navyman, was born in Virginia. Active in fine arts from an early age, Gaeyle has performed across America from coast to coast, border to border and even in the great white North of Alaska. Gaeyle's parents gave her a guitar when she was five and she gave neighborhood productions with other children telling jokes or performing magic tricks. The charge for these early shows was simple request to, "just clap your hands" although donations to the ice-cream truck cup were gladly accepted. Gaeyle's family kept her busy with choir, church and local musical productions and supplied her with a much loved silver flute. Singing and writing songs was a daily part of growing up and she had many opportunities to grow and blossom as an artist and musician. Music helped tie the traveling life the famiy led and Gaeyle experienced eleven schools before graduating. Winner of the Julia Ward Howe Competitive Vocal Scholarship from Wayne State University, she also sat by invitation as a flutist with the University of Michigan summer symphony. As a young adult, she worked with a number of agents, toured the Mid-West and South as the front person and lead vocalist with a variety of top 40, Southern Rock, Country, and Bluegrass bands from Texas and Tennessee before "coming home"
to sing from the heart in Boyne Country.
