ABOUT GAEL

Fat, feisty and over 40, Gael MacGregor could have easily called her “You Ain’t Too Tough” debut solo CD, “Against All Odds.”
​
Taking almost two decades to complete, Gael has weathered the death of a beloved band mate, the drying up of financing when the project was only half-done, the near loss of all completed tracks in a studio fire, and most recently, her own brush with mortality from a burst appendix and acute peritonitis that landed her in the hospital for almost six weeks, including 9 days in the ICU.
Taking her cue from the infamous Unsinkable Molly Brown, Gael repeatedly declared “I ain’t down yet!” and is back—sassy, brassy and sultry as ever.
​
Gael says, “I started wailing in church at an early age. By age four I was actually singing in the choir instead of causing a ruckus in the pews and by was 15 was playing piano, cello, guitar, clarinet and flute (badly, but I got better). Over the years, I traveled the world, and sang in operas, musical theatre, clubs and cabarets, performed in orchestras and with groups as musically diverse as R&B, blues, country, rock and big bands—whoever was paying. In the studio and on stage I sang back-up for everyone and their dog (including Aretha Franklin, Dick Dale [known as the King of the Surf Guitar—whose music was the signature sound for “Pulp Fiction”], and practically every Elvis impersonator you can name).”
​
Gael’s bluesy “Southern Soul” songs will capture lovers of good time rock & roll, blues, gospel, country and R&B alike. All real musicians—including live horns and strings—keep the tracks fresh and timeless. A treasure trove of in-demand musicians with a laundry list of award-winning credits have joined in the fun and “You Ain’t Too Tough” is the real deal—the complete package of great songs (including a killer remake of the classic “Drift Away”), top-notch production with #1 Billboard-charting writer/producer, Barry Coffing at the helm, amazing players, and, of course, Gael’s stellar vocals.
​
After years as part of a group or someone else’s background singer, Gael is finally doing her own music her own way.
