20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About Sons Of Anarchy

14. Gemma Sings In Every Series

Actress Katey Sagal, who plays SAMCRO matriarch Gemma Teller Morrow on the show (along with Leela from Futurama and Peggy from Married... With Children), is like a one-woman Sons Of Anarchy trivia machine. Did you know she's married to series creator Kurt Sutter in real life? And that she actually has a son called Jackson, ie Jax, ie the name of Charlie Hunnman's character who's her son on the show? But then you probably already knew all of that. What you might not have realised is that the show's equally best-selling soundtrack (Sons Of Anarchy is pretty darn popular on broadcast and DVD as well) features a bunch of songs sung by Sagal herself. According to an interview with NPR's Fresh Air, about one a season. Singing isn't one of those terrible Hollywood vanity side-projects for the actress, however. Earlier in her career she worked as a backing vocalist for such musical stars as Bob Dylan and Bette Middler, and to Gene Simmons's eponymous solo album. She's got some pipes on her, has Gemma. Well, she did, anyway.
