Music - Derral Gleason Trio

Covellite Presents: Derral Gleason Trio

A native Texan, Derral Gleason has been a dynamic and diverse performer in successive musical incarnations. Derral's range is illustrated by a musical history in which his bands have toured nationally and internationally, including stints with a variety of other artists, including the Police, INXS, Iggy Pop, and the Divinyls...to solo-acoustic openings with Paul Kelly, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Reverend Horton Heat just to name a few.

Beginning his career with the exciting New Wave band, Billy Clone and the Same based in Phoenix, AZ, Derral went on to lead the edgy Blitz Girls in Boulder, Colorado, touring the U.S., Australia and New Zealand. Derral then founded the Illustrious Illustrated Men, also out of Colorado, before moving back to Austin, Texas, where his music has found its most recent and long-standing incarnation as the DG3 (Derral Gleason Trio) performing alongside Ely Nunnenkamp.

Derral's original music has been described as "soul-kissed rock and roll" - a high-energy adventure of songs laced with pain and humor. The DG3 has graced brew pubs, dance halls and festivals alike, touring the Czech Republic, Germany, Canada, and from sea to shining sea in Alaska and the lower 48 for the past several years. Original music performed by Derral has appeared on the series "Mindhunter"(Netflix), "Dirty John" (Bravo) and "Young Sheldon" (CBS), "For All Mankind" (Apple TV+), "Dirty Lines" (Netflix) and Law & Order: Organized Crime (NBC). Derral Gleason Music encompasses Derral’s work as a solo performer, as well as the DGDuo or DG3 formats. No matter what the configuration, listeners are treated to a soulful and distinctive musical experience.

While writing and performing music are at the core of his being, Derral also has a love of the outdoors - fishing, hiking, and exploring are at the top of that list. He's a sci-fi aficianado, and enjoys playing and watching baseball (and football, if truth be told!).
