A note concerning the music. First, Julie is a tremendous vocalist proven by
two very successful Contemporary Christian CD's and a third, Rhythm and Blues meets Gospel. She is upbeat and contemporary
with a gospel feel and has ministered in music since she was 17 years old. Gary however has an okay voice but still loves
to sing and play the guitar and piano. Don't expect Gary's sound to comform to your favorite church music, he has decided
that the roots of american music with it's guttsy, raw and passionate edge, is what has brought us here and will lead us on.
Gary's grandfather, on his mothers side, Tom Lundsford, and his wife, Ida, hosted a radio show on WLW in Cincinnati
Ohio in the 1930's and 40's. Tom would play the guitar and the two would sing songs like "'Ol Shep", "Ballad
of John Henry" and "Your Cheatin' Heart". When Gary was a child he was first acquainted with the guitar by
his Grandpa Tom and has played since he was eight years old.
Through his childhood Gary was exposed to a wide range
of music. His biggest influences were Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Swaggart and Ray Charles. These influences caused Gary to fall
in love with the floating left hand style of piano to the extent that he would hold his right hand behind his back take his
foot off the sustain pedal and play for hours just using the left hand until he mastered the floating left hand style.
This style may not be for everyone but for those who enjoy it and understand it, you'll find the genuine article in
Gary Tussey.
The combination of these two ministry gifts really flow in a dynamic anointing that truly sets the
captive free and edifies the body of Christ.
