After years of university, Gillian found herself with an MA in philosophy and a yearning to write songs, sing jazz, and play the accordion. Since then, she continues to to perform, record, tour and write music with musicians she loves, fronting her own projects The Whiskey Jerks, ‘Gillian Sings Joni’ and Pearl: Celebrating the Voice of Janis Joplin, as well as sharing the stage with many other incredible artists, including Mary Margaret O’Hara, Petunia & the Vipers, Geoff Berner and Ben Caplan. When Gillian isn’t performing, she is busy teaching and mentoring aspiring musicians, and you can find her on the airwaves every Monday morning from 8-10am CST on CFCR 90.5 FM.
