Gary Gerloff playing on Monument Avenue, Easter 2006. (Click to enlarge)Via blog posts and Facebook friends who are musicians comes news that Gary Gerloff died on Saturday. He was 58.
Gary was a well-known vocalist/guitarist in the region. Worked with many well-respected musicians during his long career as a troubadour and band leader. And, he was a friend.
Last saw Gary at a VCU basketball game; he didn't miss many of them. Now my thoughts are with his immediate family, his brother, Bill, the rest of their family and the legions of friends and fans Gary made along the way.
