The Gil Correia Band

about

Gil Correia Band’s debut album “Tattoos and Blues” dropped this week. The blues trio is led by its talented namesake, Cape Cod native and all around good guy, Gil Correia. Gil describes his band’s sound as “hard-driving blues.” “I think that the fans who aren’t my fans yet, when they hear the record they’re gonna hear a genuine person making genuine music,” Gil told MediaBoss Television‘s record label division, MediaBoss Entertainment. “There’s nothing phony about my sound, it’s right from the heart and the soul and it tells a story about me and my life.” “It’s a raw sound and I think it’s my own sound because I’m so raw at it,” he added.

His brother’s friend gave it to him when he joined the Hari Krishna. But this guitar didn’t last long in his possession. Gil said his mother “freaked out” one day and smashed it over his bed post. “Later in life, when I finally had my so-called “shit together” I said ‘I’m going to learn how to play the guitar, seriously learn how to play it, and make music and make a living doing it,” Gil added. “And I did. I picked it up and went at it with vengeance.” His ‘vengeance’ has very clearly paid off. “Fro
