Goesl's Parade (gay-zuls puh-reyd)-
a continual passing by, as of people, objects, or
events: the parade of the seasons.
In each person’s life there are seasons of change, seasons of
contemplation, seasons of loss, seasons of doubt, and seasons
of joy. And if it were possible to culminate these seasons and
all of their experiences into something so acute that it would be
best expressed in musical form, the result would undoubtedly
be eclectic, honest, passionate, thankful, and transparent, not
only original, but also, and perhaps even more so, relevant and
beneficial to those able to experience it. Unless of course, all of
one’s life’s experiences culminated into nothing more a mean-
ingless song that you wished you had never heard, like, “This
is the song that never ends...!” In that case, this whole ‘acute
expression’ nonsense would be regretted, for the result would
most likely be of little value.
Luckily, the acute musical gatherings of six young men who
call themselves “Goesl’s Parade” are so much more than that
beloved song that never ends. With the completion of their de-
but full length effort, “Wishing Things Different”, Heith Guilbert
(singer/songwriter and Captain of the ship), Brennan Guilbert
(bassist and younger spawn to the Captain), Trip Clark (math-
ematician and lead guitarist extraordinaire), Ben Youngblood
(the narcoleptic synthist), Chris Shumake (the band’s 6-stringed
musical mortar), and Chris Salih (the only dancing, drumming
Arab you’ll ever need to know), are striving to present the music
industry with something relevant and fresh, while staying true to
their faith and convictions as believers.
Even more unique to this God-inspired group of hometown
friends is that they took it upon themselves to record this album
by seeking the production and engineering assistance of close
friend, Ben Rice, beginning in June of 2006. With six long
months of countless hours and endless nights, GP burned many
candles, drank many cups of coffee, tried thousands of ideas,
and collaborated tirelessly in pursuit of translating their lives
into music that they could truly call their own. “Wishing Things
Different,”, therefore, is not just another record cranked out to
please the all-commercial masses or vying for “best worship al-
bum of the year.”. This record was meant to be natural, honest,
and exciting, with material that would attract a very diverse au-
dience. From recording everything on an old 16-track, to using
the organic sounds of a still night on a front porch, to making a
road trip to the dust gathered air of a century old chapel deep
in the creepy woods of Louisiana to record many of the vocals,
this record is simply put, the proud product of 7 close friends
striving for nothing short of producing a record best repre-
senting each of their hearts, talents, beliefs, doubts, joys, and
creativities. And in doing all of this, the vulnerable honesty and
raw passion that Goesl’s Parade wanted this record to capture
is truly manifest.
“Wishing Things Different”, released in February of 2007, will
continue GP’s musical journey as they begin performing for the
record’s support. Be sure to follow this talented group of friends
as they embark together upon their pursuits in life and music
and into the gathered expressions of both.

Hey Heith! I was listening to this album again the other day in my car, and even though I am older, as I am often reminded, I love this album, all of it, but especially the Wedding Song! Guess it is because I got to hear you sing it to Jessica at your wedding. You guys did a great job on this album. God bless!
I pulled your cd out 4 days ago, and was remebering the magic that is you. I am still amazed by your music, and have ENJOYED listening to it the past 4 days. thank you for making music
