"Gary Poole" Showtime 7.30pm
Gary Poole is a songwriter with an eye and ear for the journeys of our lives. His songs explore a world that is sometimes wildly complex and sometimes beautifully simple. In the early stages of his career, Gary was a creative force behind the group Marilyn, Hudson, Carr and Poole, writing their hit singles "For Today" and "Is it any wonder?"
Today, Gary is writing and performing with the same passion that defined him back then. His latest writing, featured in the collection "Songs for a Curious World" runs the full gamut from grandchildren to the nature of truth in today's world. A Steveston native, Gary always loves to return to the Guild, and we are pleased to have him back.

Their music is inspired by the landscape of life- travels, the people they meet, and the stories that come their way.Through songwriting they explore and express the thoughts and feelings that we all share - everyday gain and loss, love and heartache, and the awe and respect that springs from travelling this green earth..
