GH began it’s musical life surrounded by the Tulip fields of La Conner, WA in the Spring of 2005. The original lineup performed as a string band with mandolin, washtub bass, acoustic guitar, fiddle, banjo, and harp, heavily influenced by old time small town American music. Over the years GH has held on to that small town feel but has expanded their musical lineup to include electric & acoustic
guitars, drums, electric bass, sax, flute, fiddle, harp, and multi vocalists, lending a 60s-meet-now alt-country/rock/jam mix of original and selected “preservation” songs (or obscure covers) that keep the crowd entertained, involved, and dancing. With over 400 shows to date ranging from gritty saloons, radio shows, benefits and main stage headliners, radio play, a growing fan base, and integrity to the clubs and fans who support them, Gertrude's Hearse is a packaged deal, the real deal.
