About Me

Gail Wade has been performing publicly since the early 1980’s. Her first musical performances came while living in Brunswick, Maine. Working on the Tall Ships out of Camden Harbor, Maine, she would work the galleys by day, and then sing on the decks in the evenings. Gail has appeared on stages both as a solo musician and most recently, as a member of the former CT based band, “The Hot Flashes”. During the past twenty years Gail has gained the respect of audiences throughout the United States and Europe. Teaming up with good friend and fellow singer-songwriter, Gary Ferguson, they toured Ireland in 2005. A strong guitarist with a rich soulful voice, Gail brings forth fresh renditions of Folk, Blues, Bluegrass and forgotten favorites. Though steeped in the roots of American music, her diverse array of influences enable Gail to transition from one musical genre to the next, with a fluidity that will foster a true appreciation of her talent. Her beautifully crafted original songs such as,”Anna’s Owl” and “Harder Every Day” are certain to touch your heart. Whether she performs solo, or with her band, Gail’s guitar work and wondrous voice combine to create an enchanting experience you’ll not soon forget.Gail tours with her band “Turning Point” consisting of some of Connecticut’s finest acoustic musicians.
