Described as Americana Soul Pop, Gilleran's Island Band will take you on a journey through many musical styles and is sure to put a smile on your face, a zip in your step and maybe a tear in your eye! Singer-songwriter John Gilleran sings his heart out in perfectly pitched, smooth baritone tones and soaring falsetto, all the while laying down a solid foundation on acoustic guitar. Terra Jean Otto shines on violin - deep in the groove with sweet lines, ripping riffs and even some funk chops. Dr. Mel Senter brings the rock and soul Memphis vibe on bass, infused with his kind pediatrician doctor smarts. Drums can be added as well. In addition to the high level of musicianship, we are blessed to have a professional sound person...John is an acclaimed recording engineer (projects with Taj Mahal, Graham Nash, Mother Booker Marley, etc.) and has mixed live sound for many acts. Bon Terra Strings is a classical trio, with traditional chamber music repertoire and pop/jazz tunes as well.
