Peter Gallway and The Real Band

Called “a master of free verse” in the Boston Globe, Peter Gallway has released nearly thirty albums on the Warner/Reprise and various independent labels and produced over fifty albums and special projects including work with legendary artist Laura Nyro. He also collaborates with acclaimed singer-songwriter Annie Gallup as the duo Hat Check Girl, and with British keyboardist Harvey Jones (Chris Botti, Robert Fripp, Sting) as Parker Gray.

With The Real Band: Andrea Re, percussion (Jackson Browne, Garland Jeffries), Mark Wainer, lead guitar (The Buffalos, Berklee College of Music), Mark Abraham, bass (Enter the Haggis), Joseph Wainer, drums (Roswell Rudd, Max Roach), and Michael McInnis, keyboards (Devonsquare, Noel Stookey). Peter Gallway’s music spans styles from ‘60’s rock and roll, to “jazzy folk”, to atmospheric Americana and has been compared to work by Tom Petty, Elvis Costello and Leonard Cohen. Their most recent release, It’s Deliberate, has received international acclaim.

A songwriter and storyteller with the skill of a novelist and a filmmaker, its reflections born of the introspection resulting from lock down, it's no accident that it is one of Gallway's very best. Mike Davies, Fatea Magazine, U.K.

Larry John McNally


Larry John McNally's songs have been recorded by some of the greatest artists of all time, including The Eagles, Aaron Neville, Bonnie Raitt, Mavis Staples, Rod Stewart and more. His lyrics are literary yet conversational and his guitar playing has been described as "folk-Hendrix."

The past few years he has been performing all over the world, Argentina, Japan, the UK, Portugal, Holland and more, both as a solo artist and as 1/2 of the duo McNally Waters, with keyboardist Harry Waters, son of Roger Waters. "Nobody’s Girl” is a masterpiece.

“Some of my favorite songs I've ever recorded are written by men, men who are highly conscious of such wonderful versions of what modern men could be. It has a complexity in the lyric that is so artful. Larry John McNally is one of my favorite writers ever. He's an undersung, underrated brilliant artist, and he's constantly putting out records and should be appreciated more than he is." Bonnie Raitt
