Gary C's home-cooked blues.
Local guy cranks it out nicely

   If you're longing for that simple, cheap guitar and cheap drum honky tonk blues sound, then Gary C is your man.  This seasoned veteran has been playing since the late 1960s and surely puts his experience behind him with his cool, confident renditions of the blues and down-home rock n roll songs that we've all grwon to love.

Vaughan, or he might bring out one of his gruelling originals that take on the everending battle of love over heartache.

Hailing from Jackson, Gary C swiftly comes off as a typical every day guy who honestly expresses himself with each vocal note or guitar lick. His guitar playing is superb, providing the right rhythmic backup while throwing in cutting leads as well.

   In short think of Gary C as the goods and just that. He doesn't give you some fancy dish. But if you're looking for a good hearty steak, then look for Gary C without the trimmings. He is a frequent attraction of the Cool Beans Coffehouse in Toms River. -- by David J. Gorsky
