Band MembersMr. Galloway does not have a set list of players for live performances. His co-producers, Ron Logan and Jimmy Clark, play and harmonize on many of his studio recordings. Live (and sometimes in the studio), RMG is often backed up by C. Aaron Moore (vocals/keyboards), Chad Ireland (vocals/drums), Dan Scot Parr (vocals/guitar/Djembe Master), Michael "The Mudcat" Reames (vocals/guitar/blues harp), Scott O. Thomas (extraordinary bass), and Aaron Yuhas (sax).
InfluencesMr. Galloway formulated his style under the influence of diverse performers such as Joni Mitchell, CSN&Y, Dan Fogelberg, Poco, The Eagles, America, Moody Blues, James Taylor, Boston, REO Speedwagon, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin (Mahavishnu Orchestra), George Barnes, Bucky Pizorelli, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, and Larry Coryell.

Current influences include Matchbox 20, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Sting, and Seal.

Sounds LikeA blend of Moody Blues, CSN&Y, James Taylor, Kenny Loggins, Cat Stevens, Dan Fogelberg, Boston and REO Speedwagon.

   About The Anti-Simon
Okay, so you didn't make American Idol's Top 12. That might be the best thing that ever happened to you. Why? Because you can make it yourself, without the record companies, and you'll probably keep more money for yourself. You just have to know how. Ryan Michael Galloway IS "The Alpha Gigster." Yes, an experienced musician, but also a professor in the "school of rock," and other styles.

Mr. Galloway is building a long list of Gigster Clinic books and DVDs to help you figure out how to build your band, get your gear, make some news, and rock the world. See www.GigsterClinic.com for links to free download articles on Live Sound and Songwriting. Books and DVDs on Live Sound and Songwriting are available RIGHT NOW, at www.gigsterclinics.com/careerproducts.htm. His latest--and perhaps most important book to date--The Band Promotion Turbo-Charger, is available now!

Lest you think he's just a talker, RMG's 2003 release: "Also Known As Ryan Michael Galloway," is available at CDbaby.com/cd/rmg, Amazon.com, and downloadable from Apple iTunes, Walmart.com, RealRhapsody (Rhapsody.com) and many other digital distribution sites.

RMG's latest release, "Rock the Big House Down" (EP) is now available at SongSlide.com, where you can set your own price! You can sample the songs above, then go to RMG SongSlide page to acquire the MP3s for yourself.

Mr. Galloway co-founded the Collin County Songwriters Association in North Texas, and performs regularly for clubs, corporate gatherings, coffee houses, house concerts, and charity events. He currently supports efforts for the American Cancer Society, Alzheimers Association, and Collin County Arts. His Gigster seminar, book, and videos will help you start a music career.

Check out Mr. Galloway in the following video from a recent Gigster Clinics Live Sound program--to learn a little about PA systems and controlling feedback.
