The Gully Boys origin story begins in the aisles of a Minneapolis thrift shop. Vocalist/guitarist

Kathy Callahan (she/her) and co-worker Nadirah McGill (they/them) spent their days sharing

dreams and building a friendship amongst racks of forgotten treasures. When Kathy confided

her desire to sing in a band, it set off a groundswell of events: Nadi grabbed a pair of

drumsticks, and the two invited middle school friend Natalie Klemond (she/her) to join on bass.

Two years of relentless gigging followed, and earned Gully Boys the Best New Band crown by

their local Minneapolis City Pages in 2018, shortly after the release of their debut demo

collection, Not So Brave. Their anticipated follow-up EP, Phony, arrived in late 2019, just months

before the live music world came to a halt. Inspired by this break in the action, the band added

lead guitarist Mariah Mercedes (they/them), and worked with producer Zach Zurn at Carpet

Booth Studio to release their Favorite Son EP (2021) and standout singles “See You See”

(2022) and “Optimist” (2023).

Grounded in a bond as fierce as their sound, Gully Boys’ electrifying live performances have

earned them spots on SXSW stages, Audiotree sessions, and tours alongside Nova Twins,

Motion City Soundtrack, Destroy Boys, Bad Bad Hats, and more.
