My biggest musical inspiration is my whole family. Every member on both sides is musically inclined and all sing and play an instrument. My late father, Charles Robert Lundy, taught me everything I know about music and playing music.

I am also inspired by every band I have heard and gotten into. Here's a few that have influenced me over the years:

Bruce Hornsby, The Smiths, R.E.M., U2 (I'm a fan of Joshua Tree and older), Radiohead, The Sundays, Jeff Buckley, Coldplay, Embrace, Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, Kathleen Edwards, Fleet Foxes, Glossary, The Drive-By Truckers, Sera Cahoone, Rob Dickinson and The Catherine Wheel, The Lemonheads, Wilco, Iron & Wine, Neko Case, The Indigo Girls, Damien Rice, Ray Lamontagne, Guster, Smashing Pumpkins, Counting Crows, David Gray, Nik Kershaw, Live, Sunny Day Real Estate, Doves, Elbow, Band of Horses, Slowdive, Ride, Mojave 3, Bruce Cockburn, The Jayhawks, Simon & Garfunkel, Don Henley, The Beatles, David Gilmour (His solo albums are amazing), Pink Floyd, Elton John, Steve Miller, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and Cat Stevens.

That's just to name a few.

However you want it to sound.

Gabrial James Lundy, 32, is an acoustic singer/songwriter from Grand Rapids, MI. He has been playing the guitar since the age of fourteen and singing since the age of eight. His father Charles Robert taught him how to play the guitar, and had his formal vocal training in the Saint Cecilia Music Society Chorale from 1985-1989.

Gabrial started writing songs when he was sixteen with Corduroy Kelley, his very first band, which was heavily influenced by the early 90's British shoegaze bands like Catherine Wheel, Ride, Swervedriver, Slowdive, and Lush. They had their 15 minutes, playing a couple of places in town including a battle of the bands at Martini's (now Billy's Lounge) in Eastown. Corduroy Kelley went their separate ways and Gabrial went back to his acoustic roots. Gabrial's songwriting stayed dormant for a number of years, but he really got back into it when he started to hit the local open mic circuits heavily.

In the summer of 2003, Gabrial was invited to be the host/emcee of the acoustic open mic showcase at Billy's Lounge in Eastown, one of the finest venues for local music and blues in GR. To this day the acoustic showcase is still going strong with loads of beautiful talent coming in from Michigan to New Zealand.

Gabrial is the happiest ever when he is on the stage playing music for people. His smooth, acoustic folk-pop style includes tight guitar rhythms and vocals that span from heart gripping tenor to sweet falsetto. One day he will be playing for you.
