Gale Cruz Big Band Swing Variety

From a yound school girl singing in The Texas Girls' Choir, to twenty plus years on the New York City scene, Gale Crus has had the good fortune of backing up such artists as PHOEBE SNOW, PATTI AUSTIN, and PHYLLIS HYMAN. While in New York, Gale also led her own jazz group as well as corporate/society bands performing for numerous clients such as SMITH BARNEY, MAYOR BLOOMBERG and SONY CORP. to name a few. She also did numerous jingles and voice overs. Gale has recently relocated to her DALLAS/FT. WORTH roots. If versatility in most any style of music from cabaret performances to larger orchestras is your criteria, GALE CRUZ is your choice.

"We had a great time with Gale! She had a wide variety of music for us, and was extremely flexible & accomodating!"
