Tommy Gallagher & Friends plans on getting into the studio to record their debut album, the thing is... we are having so much fun playing out, that we are taking our time to enjoy! Our audience’s thrive on the musicianship aspect of our playing, bringing out a high energy, and funky grooves that makes you just jump up to dance and rock out. This project is a true kinship, through the years we all have played together at various gigs & jams so the timing was just perfect. We are Brothers connected by the music in our veins. Everyone here have their personal projects receiving radio play throughout the country.Above was the short version is how we all came togetherTommy Gallagher & Friends based out of Colorado Springs Colorado came together late October 2007 at the prodding of L.A. Music Award Winner Michael Reese, also Nominated Best Guitarist at those same Prestigious Music Awards. Michael knew I had been wanting to do a music project. So I started right with him. OK I said, I’M on Guitar & Vocals, you wanna be in my band? He was in! The next step was asking other personal friends I have jammed with before and have wanted for this project and to record with….Then came 5 time Grammy nominee former “Spyra Gyra” Bassist Kim Stone and current member of the very popular “Rippingtons.” I spoke about the overtone of where I wanted to steer this project, Kim responded that he was in. Drummer Dewey Steele former Capital Records session player heard the early discussions being tossed around and wanted in the project from the get go. Bryant Jones on Keyboards & Hammond B3 who has so much Musical talent in his fingers, we all wish we had a pinky of it responded that he was in too. Jazz / Blues-Rock Vocalist Chyrl Moores sings back ups & leads when she is available which is most of the time.**Wayne Hammerstadt is Michael Reese's Back up.
