Gael MacGregor

Feisty and over 40, Gael MacGregor could have easily entitled her YOU AIN'T TOO TOUGH debut solo CD, AGAINST ALL ODDS. Taking almost two decades to complete, Gael weathered the death of a beloved band mate, the drying up of financing when the project was only half-done, the near loss of all completed tracks in a studio fire, and her own brush with mortality from a burst appendix and acute peritonitis that landed her in the hospital for almost six weeks, including nine days in the ICU. Taking her cue from the Unsinkable Molly Brown, Gael repeatedly declared “I ain’t down yet!” and is back—sassy, brassy and sultry as ever.
