WAYNE GILLESPIE & FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT
Their name should have already alerted you to the fact that this is a band that knows its music history – and who
wouldn’t want to name themselves after a song by Leonard Cohen? The fact that the core members have a little
history themselves should also alert you to expect quality in the CD that accompanies this press release – and
why not?
Singer/songwriter Wayne Gillespie has been making quality music in Australia since CBS released his second
album New Locations here back in 1987, and was already a favourite son back in his native New Zealand for a
few years before that, while drummer/percussionist Rob Grosser has fired the engine room of more than a few
records since he emerged from Adelaide, having worked with some of Australia’s best musicians including the
late Pete Wells of Rose Tattoo, Jimmy Barnes, Tim Gaze , Bob Daisley (Ozzy Osbourne/Gary Moore) as well as
overseas artists such as Bob Margolin (ex- Muddy Waters), and Deep Purple ‘s Jon Lord, Ian Gillian and Steve
Morse.
