Artist History The Story So Far… Although it wasn't intentional, the name garners the same reaction that the music gets on a first listen: It's familiar, but far from being common. Fans from over 26 countries already know why they listen to GordonGartrell. The songs. The rugged good looks. The formidable cheesecake. After much meandering and zen-like navel-gazing, the Canadian trio are expected to explode into a market somewhere with their first full-length release Secret Handshake. Over 2 years in the making, Secret Handshake is the culmination of all the cliché’s and double entendre’s you’d expect in a band bio. Bottom line: it’s 10 power-packed ditties of Gartrell Goodness. Although still holding on to their live show as their most powerful asset, Secret Handshake will open more eyes and expand their fan base further along to complete world domination.

Group Members Joe Boulé - Guitar/Lead Vocals, Owen P. Kelly - Bass/Backing Vocals, Glen Whelan - Drums

Press Reviews SonicOttawa.com December 14, 2001 I had never seen them before but they seem to possess some sort of peaceful energy. The best way I can describe their music is beautiful. It is wonderfully mellow with a lot of strong beat thrown in for variation. It is well written and it is great stuff to listen to if you just want to chill out. http://www.cyberus.ca/~purdygood/sonicottawa/Reviews/ignition14122001.html Ottawa Sun December 27, 2001 2001s best and worst - GordonGartrell: Best of 2001 honorable mention http://search.canoe.ca/Jam2001/dec27_iannathanson-sun.html
