GARY HIRSTIUS
surrounded by music, especially Gary Hirstius.
Besides the natural influence of being born and
raised in a city so rich in musical heritage and
Storyville Dixieland Jazz Band. There were always
combinations of guitar, trumpets, and drums lying
around the house and at age 14, Gary started to gig
with his guitar. By 17 he was playing on Bourbon
Street, holding musical residence at the world
famous strip club Big Daddy's. It wasn't long before
Gary found himself playing what he calls the
"Bayou Circuit," the small cities and towns of the
swampy and wild Cajun country south of New
Orleans.
It is an easy and characteristic process to become
jaded with such consistent playing and it didn't
take long for Gary to realize he needed something
else to happen, something new. An ex-cop cousin
who was employed as a detective gave Gary an
introduction to the alternative that he sought. At
the age of 21, with no experience and no training,
Gary Hirstius began his other calling - private
investigation. Like music, detective work came
naturally. He soon had himself dual careers - his
songs and stage energy often a byproduct of the
stress involved with surveillance and other modes
of anonymously meddling in others' lives, hired by
sometimes strange and insidious individuals to
watch other strange and insidious individuals.
He only left New Orleans to reside and play music
in New Jersey for a year but found the Big Easy -
with its people, diversity, and music - a place he
couldn't stay away from. In 1986, Gary became the
frontman of the original Continental Drifters who
later became the Subdudes. The "Rock `n' Roll
Detective" (as he soon became known as) also
fronted his own Junior Mays Band and Tommy
Malone (formerly of the Subdudes) and Dave
Malone (currently with the Radiators), and was the
last heard leading Jackson Meddler (later renamed
NO Angels) with former Evangeline members Beth
McKee and Sharon Leger. It's an entirely new story
now with Day Seven and Mr. Hirstius is ready to
emerge from the clandestine nature of his
investigations once again, this time to stay. There
will be no doubt to the legitimacy and talent of this
great band and Gary's timeless songs. Just be
prepared for the roller coaster ride of emotions at
their live shows, mostly be ready to leave
impressed and already humming formerly
unfamiliar songs.
