Welcome to Gil Faelan Music, Featuring

MY WORK TAPE CAREER

During my years in The Michael Band, through my years performing as a solo artist, and mostly in the subsequent decades, I wrote the songs that told me they needed to be written. Along the way, I documented my collections (albums). I recorded all those completed songs at my home studios in work tape format: Lead Voice, Harmony Voice(s), Piano, Drum Machine, and compiled them into various collections, chronologically curated over many years. With the exception of one fully produced studio CD (see “Six Years in Exile”), all of the material is in work tape form. I decided to release My Work Tape Career  for posterity, so that folks who need (or want) to find my music will do so, and with the hope that my music will both inspire and entertain. These 18 collections (My Work Tape Career) comprise my albums beginning with “The Dawning” (1970s) chronologically through “Before I Go” (2024). There is also a wealth of material under the Music History tab, including The Michael Band Live and my own Nashville demos.

I am thrilled to announce the release of a new collection of original songs!

What’s Next – a collection of all-new original songs, written during the past two years, and recorded in work tape style this July (2026). Enjoy!
