MEET THE BAND
Jean Marie
The Singer and Songwriter
Jean Marie Learman started this band of merry musicians in 2015 to showcase her love for Celtic music as well as those eclectic folk songs she has collected over the years. She also wanted to bring her originals to audiences backed up by the energy of a full band in addition to her guitar, flute, whistles, and concertina. She has released two CDs with The Lads - (Lads on the Side in 2019 AND Lads in the The Lane in 2025). Prior to playing with Jean Marie & The Lads, she was the lead singer and instrumentalistfor 20+ years with the Celtic band, EQUINOX and released four CDs with them (Wake the Dead, Lothian Sky, Summer Solstice Live, and Autumnal Equinox). She also released two solo albums featuring originals and folk songs (Sing for the Children and Still Singing).
Introducing The Lads……
The Guitar Man Minstrel - Frank Gibes
Frank keeps this band moving forward with his strong rhthymic guitar and tasty leads. His deep baritone voice takes over the bottom of the band's harmonies. On our latest CD (Lads in the Lane), he is featured on the traditional love song, Black Is the Colour. Raised in the metro-Detroit area, Frank comes from Kalamazoo where he also plays praise music and rock-and-roll! Frank and JM met on their first weekend at Michigan Tech University. They walked up the hill to join a folk praise band. They've been playing music together ever since!
