Banjo picker, Annie Clifford, had a dream
about The Gertrudes. She told guitar
picker, Greg Tilson, about the dream and
he picked up the phone and called up all
The Gertrudes in her dream. The Gertrudes
then assembled themselves in the Kingston
School of Music, and made beautiful music together.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Our ep is now available for purchase on Zunior.com!

Sounds Like: The Gertrudes sound like a ol' time saloon party in deep space... experimental noise beds with down home folk passengers, frolicking through original material, played by a veritable orchestra of instruments.
