Terry Gillespie – Bluesoul Launch

BLUESOUL:  The long-awaited Blues Album by Canada’s King of Roots Music and Ottawa’s own Terry Gillespie played at the NAC last night.

Terry Gillespie  is considered a forefather of the cultural dissemination of American music into Canada.  Today his voice is frequently compared to Van Morrison and Bob Dylan while his guitar is reminiscent of Mark Knopfler.  Richard Ludmerer, Vice-President, New York Blues and Jazz Society describes Gillespie’s music: ” Terry Gillespie possesses a magic that seems to occur right in the middle of each song.  It’s what causes the hairs to rise on the back of your neck.”

Terry was accompanied by seasoned musicians  Lyndell Montgomery and Wayne Stoute with special guest  Peter Measroch formerly of The Luther Allison Band on piano.
