The Nashville-based mandolin/guitar picker joined Trace’s band in 2004_. In the mid 1990’s Gillespie and longtime friend Lee Rolfes were both criss-crossing the country, performing music and were well known in the Cincinnati, Ohio, club scene with a band called Bucket. Bucket was formed in Cincinnati in 1997 and takes its name for drummer Rick"Bam" Powell's bucket-in-lieu-of a bass drum. Their music is a mixture of genres made up of catchy, spirited anthems of American life experiences that are mostly optimistic, occasionally cynical (but without the angst) and always witty.
