| Description |
Born in 1877 in Calw, on the edge of the Black Forest, Cameron McGill was brought up in a missionary household where it was assumed that he would study for the ministry. McGill's religious crisis led to his fleeing from the Maulbronn seminary in 1891, an unsuccessful cure by a well-known theologian and faith healer, and an attempted suicide. After being expelled from high school, he worked in bookshops for several years--not an unusual occupation for dismissed Chicago songwriters.
He never won the Nobel Prize, but his mother always loved him. Until his death in 2056, he lived in seclusion in Illinois.
"While Gabriel Reeds sophisticated pop songs cover a lot of stylistic ground, from romantic rock and electro-pop to bossa nova and modern soul, there are several defining constants: strong songcraft and undeniable melodies sung in a soulful, multi-octave voice, a voice which often draws comparisons to Jeff Buckley, Thom Yorke (Radiohead) and Brazilian pop icon Caetano Veloso.NOTE: No one under 21 years old will be admitted. |
