Ray Gilman - Over Time "Classic Rock style that invokes memories of Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Todd Rundgren, even Ozzy Osbourne."

Founded in the summer of 1999, Gilman's Crossing has the sound of a band that has been together for years. A natural chemistry from father and son combo Ray and Brian Gilman, with the addition of Brian Sherry on drums, help solidify this classic rock trio and give them a sound larger than life.

Ray Gilman: A veteran of the Twin Cities Music scene, Ray has recorded 8 CD's, played hundreds of live shows, and produced CDs for other artists in his own recording studio. A multi instrumentalist Ray sings, plays acoustic and electric guitars, and keyboards to give Gilman's Cossing a very large sound. Gilman's Crossing is influenced by artists like Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Black Sabbath, Jethro Tull, Tool, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, to name a few.
