Red Gallagher
Solo Entertainer

Red Gallagher does an upbeat show of music and humor. A true one-man-band, his sound is a combination of electric and acoustic guitar, harmonica, voice and electronic percussion. The musical repertoire spans jazz, blues, folk, country, rock and roll and includes standards from all eras of American popular music. In addition, his original songs and parodies such as Northwoods Man, Rogaine, Mini-Van Driver, Little Black Book, Gamblin' Fool and Sixth Grade Blues poke fun at all aspects of modern life. What you'll remember most about Red's performance is the element of fun, spontaneity and participation that he brought to your event and made it special.

Minneapolis Star Tribune: "...a fine and facile guitarist capable of some lowdown blues grit on harmonica."

The Twin Cities Reader: "Red Gallagher's art lies somewhere between Jimmy Buffett's beach bumming and Weird Al Yankovic's parade of parodies!"

Whether it's a 3 or 4 piece ensemble, the Red Gallagher Group always delivers a delightful show for all ages. In the course of a set you'll hear everything from blues to polka, from old standards to rocking contemporary tunes and lots of danceable rock and roll. Always fun and never too loud, this band is perfect in large or small settings, inside or out, concert stage to private party. Red Gallagher calls the songs with a funny, casual attitude "reminiscent of Garrison Keillor" (Bruce Gregoire, Bop Till You Drop Promotions). the repertoire is so huge that the program can be adapted to fit the special needs of any audience. Requests, sing-alongs, guest vocalists, birthday or anniversary songs can always be included. An original song or parody can even be written for a special occasion.

Besides giving a professional performance, the Red Gallagher Group's main goal is one they want to share with you...TO HAVE FUN!

Artists covered include Jimmy Buffett, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, The Beatles, Bob Seeger, Chuck Berry, B. B. King, Roy Orbison, Elvis, Hank Williams and countless others.
