Bio
Gilleran’s Island Band is a talented husband-wife duo (sometimes trio or band), delighting audiences in the Florida Panhandle and beyond with their beautifully crafted originals, soulful harmonies and expertly curated song list. Terra Jean Otto shines on violin - deep in the groove with sweet lines, ripping riffs and even some funk chops. Mentored by Vassar Clements, she has shared the stage with him and his Little Big Band, as well as performances with Peter Rowan (Old and in the Way). She has also performed with John Cowan (New Grass Revival), Howard Levy (Bela Fleck and the Flecktones), Leftover Salmon, and String Cheese Incident with members of the David Grisman Quintet. Vocalist and singer songwriter, John Gilleran sings his heart out in perfectly pitched smooth baritone tones and soaring falsetto, all the while laying down a solid foundation on acoustic guitar. He is a classically trained singer and toured Europe as a featured soloist in a madrigal choir. He was signed by Warner Bros. early in his career and recorded a hit, Summer Sun. Described as Americana Soul Pop, their energetic show will take you on a journey through many musical styles and is sure to put a smile on your face, a zip in your step and maybe a tear in your eye!
