Donna & Gary Creary
The Donna and Gary story began many years ago in a Canadian roadhouse, when a young aspiring Kiwi vocalist met a guitarist playing in the house band on talent night — and the rest, as they say, is history.
Former Gold Guitar Award winner Donna Creary, best known as front person for the Wellington-region soul band The Soul Minerz, teams up with her husband and long-time musical partner Gary Creary (guitar and keyboards), also of The Soul Minerz and guitarist for The Rag Poets.
Donna’s distinctive, delicate vocal tones can be heard on recordings by Alan Norman, The Rag Poets, and other artists. Gary is a writer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist with decades of performance and recording experience.
Together, Donna and Gary bring a lifetime of shared musical chemistry to the stage and are very much looking forward to performing on the Mainly Acoustic stage.
