Gail Muldrow Rockin Blues Band

Gail Muldrow FOR BOOKING GAIL MULDROW PLEASE CONTACT [email protected] 253-961-7567 BORN November 23, San Francisco, California “A song comes to me in many ways. Sometimes the rhythm of the car as I am riding down the road. It may be a particular situation that I have encountered in my life. Groove is what makes you move though. When you run out of words to say, just find a groove to dig into. Rhythm is the stuff of life. You put your notes on a foundation of groove and the song will write it self.” DEC 2004 SAN FRANCISCO SONGWRITER MUSICIAN SIGNS WITH GLOBAL RECORDING ARTIST. Gail “Mojo” Muldrow has been compared to guitarist such as Jimmy Hendrix, Jimmy Page, and Albert Collins. A multi talented entertainer, she also plays Bass Guitar, Key’s and Drums. Her vocal versatility is amazing, reminding us of the time when singers all had a distinct difference to one another. Gladys, Aretha, Etta are obvious influences in her vocal style. Gail grew up at a time when rock and roll was forming. During the 50’s and 60’s, artist such as Ray Charles, Magalia Jackson, Duke Ellington, Nancy Wilson, Frank Sinatra, and many more were the background sounds of her youth. Her parents encouraged her to play music at a young age. Participating in church choir, honor choir, band, and theater throughout school. At age 17 Sly took her in and put her on a hit record “I Get High On YOU” “My parents played the music that influences me to this day. In addition, my oldest brother John was a total record freak. I heard the top 10 hits as they came out every week. I knew all the words and would practice to the records that I liked” “A ONE HUNDRED PERCENT PURE SAN FRANCISCO BORN SENSATION”- FAT DOG Gail started playing guitar at the age of 17. “Jimmy Hendrix died and I just had to start playing guitar. I never got to see him live and it motivated me to start playing.” Her parent’s friendship with the FAMILY STONE put her in a position to learn what it takes to be a professional. SLY took her in as family naming her ‘COUSIN GALE’ on the album ‘I GET HIGH ON YOU’. “FREDDY STONE was my guitar mentor. No one plays funk like him. In addition, if you were not there, you cannot get it.” The east bay brand of funk is unique to the world. Bands like Sly and the Family Stone, Tower of Power, Cold Blood, Santana, Chick Correa, John McLaughlin, Stanly Clark, and so many more bands were local and helped shape the way funk is played today. I lived at Sly’s house in Novato in the 70’s. He liked us kids and let us use the gear at the Record Plant. Bobby Vega and Al Moody was my band. How cool is that? We were only 17. In 1974, Gail started receiving vocal coaching from the great Judy Davis. She remained a student until Judy died in 2001. Judy took a personal interest in Gail and gave special attention to her development as not only a singer, but also an all around professional.“Judy helped me define who I wanted to be as an entertainer. I came up with a cross between Tina Turner and Jimmy Hendrix, So I worked on that.”Gail continues to electrify large crowds. She has developed an acoustic solo act - full of classic songs and originals. Known for her knack of playing with the best players in the area, you never know who she may show up with next.
