GALLEON is an Atlanta-based musical group which believes life is too short for ordinary music. Comprised of Elliott Michaels, William Easterling, and June Meltzer, this electric outfit performs well-crafted, tastefully melodic original songs with style and professionalism. Thus, the band makes music that sails above and beyond all the rest!
GALLEON's music is a fusion of the best elements of jazz, country, blues, gospel, folk, and Latin musical styles - the same elements that were fused together to forge rock music in the first place. So it's still rock & roll to GALLEON!
The chemistry and camaraderie among musical partners Meltzer, Easterling, and Michaels is most evident in GALLEON's assertive but cohesive sound, imposing stage presence, and commanding performance. The group has played regularly at Atlanta-area nightclubs and concert events, and they are now looking to play their special brand of music throughout the Southeastern United States in the coming months.
Further information about GALLEON may be obtained at (404) 552-2763, or by e-mail at galleonmaster@yahoo.com. Please feel free to contact us in order to book the band or if you are interested in joining us. Don't you miss the boat - welcome aboard GALLEON!
