Lee Gallagher and the Hallelujah:

Having recently been named one of the Top 5 best up-and-coming Bay area bands by CBS, Lee Gallagher and the Hallelujah have clearly made a mark in their short time together since forming in mid-2013.

Based in San Francisco but comprised of midwestern and southern transplants with like-minded musical sensibilities and a devotion to honest roots based American music, they weave a sonic tapestry framed by wailing guitars, churning organ and more than a slight nod to the southern gospel music of their past.

The band spent 2014 recording their self-titled debut record and touring a good swath of the US. And, for the new kids on the block, the band has had the incredible good fortune of sharing the stage with such acts as The Doobie Brothers, Boston, and Living Colour.

The early reviews of their debut record have ticked off influences ranging from Ryan Adams to such legendary artists as Aerosmith, the Grateful Dead, the Faces, and the Black Crowes. Gallagher’s dynamic vocal range has brought repeated comparisons to both Neil Young and Robert Plant.

Lee Gallagher and the Hallelujah will spend 2015 taking their “psychedelic gospel” on the road with dates starting in March in the Pacific Northwest.

PRESS QUOTES:

"Nowhere else can one hear the synthesis of gospel, psychedelia, roots, Americana, folk, and rock in a crossroads that brings them altogether so perfectly." --- Turnstyled, Junkpiled

"'Touch the Water' is a great tune, redolent of Ryan Adams attempting an early Rod ballad whilst 'Shallow Grave' enters full-on Robert Plant mode." - - - Shindig! Magazine

"There's no arguing the talent and skill on display on San Franciscan blues belter Lee Gallagher's debut. With their mix of psychedelic organ, earthy blues rock and huge gospel flourishes, his band have clearly been striving for perfection, and this album suggests they want to be taken very seriously indeed." - - - Classic Rock Magazine

“incredibly enticing, igniting a hunger that dwells in many of us; that longing for something real, fresh and exciting, like music used to be." --Coachella Valley Weekly
