Already beloved as the frontman and primary songwriter of the loud and bluesy Toy Soldiers, Ron Gallo is working the mic tonight at The Boot and Saddle backed by rowdy youngsters Satellite Hearts (Justin Pellechia, Keaton Thandi and Lucan Rinz) and Levee Drivers’ Kyle Perella. Breeding excitement for his first studio solo album, which is expected to be released later this year, Gallo has been slowly posting acoustic tracks (including a gorgeous cover of The Lawsuits’ “Anybody’s Girl”) that leak passion and raspy, whispering vocals. You can also preview some of the new tunes from his upcoming debut that he recorded with Kettle Pot Tracks’ On the Hill Series HERE. Opening the evening will be Extraordinaires leading man Jay Purdy with his imaginative storytelling and singer-songwriter Lucy Stone with her clear as a bell vocals and pop sensibilities.
