Since 1989, when the original members -- Bill Beasley, Russell Horsch, and Mike Reed -- first appeared together at the Michigan Theater in Jackson, MI for a Christmas show, The GelCaps have drawn a following of fans at car shows, bars, parties and many other events throughout lower Michigan, performing a cappella doo-wop in the traditional streetcorner style. They have performed for actor Jeff Daniels at the Purple Rose Theater in Chelsea, MI and at private parties in his home. In the 1996 election year they wrote and performed a song for Pat Paulsen's Presidential campaign. They also made it onto Zack Butler's list of "Silly Band Names" for March 1, 1999. Their music seems to appeal to all ages -- some people are taken back to younger days and simpler times, while others just appreciate the pure sounds and vocal intricacies of tight a cappella harmonies.

Never Let You Go Everyone's Laughing What's Your Name Don't That Prove I Love You Morse Code Of Love My Girl Sure As the Flowers When I Woke Up This Morning Walking My Baby Back Home Louie Louie Under the Boardwalk Let It Be Zombie Jamboree 1000 Miles Away |
The Gel Caps are Steve Tucker, Dana Buck, Andrew Gorney and Mike
Reed, four sunglass-wearing cool guys whoıve been gathering fans at car shows,
bars, parties and other events throughout lower Michigan since 1989, doing street
corner doo-wop. There are numerous theories concerning the origin of the groupıs
name, but the liner notes say that our guess is "as good as anybody elseıs."
Some of our favorite cuts: "Whatıs Your Name," "Donıt That Prove I Love You,"
"My Girl," and "When I Woke Up This Morning" and "Under The Boardwalk," "Zombie
Jamboree" and "1000 Miles Away." OK, these guys arenıt The Temptations, but
theyıre up there singing the hits and having a good time, and itıs infectious.
And for infection, Take Two...
