  • Bio

    ***“In a city where someone once remarked that people feel like they’re being “bludgeoned with music” and singer/songwriters are a dime a dozen, it’s refreshing to find a pure talent like Scott Gallegos. Your barista might be working on his or her fourth solo record, but it’s unlikely that it combines the pop chops, big, soulful vocals or effortless storytelling that Gallegos debut album, “est. 1976,” which was released last year, contains. The songs — and especially the voice — grip you from the first instant, pulling you in and capturing your attention until the last note. Gallegos isn't constrained by roots or pop constraints — he transcends them“. BARBARA MITCHELL, The Portland Tribune.********************************** I recently caught Scott Gallegos performing at John Vecchiarelli's open mic night at the White Eagle, and was pleasantly surprised at the extent of this guy's grasp on melody and hook-writing. CASEY JARMAN, Willamette Week Alibi voted track of the day once and Better Views twice as well as track of the week twice! ...... ...... ...... ...... ...... Always embracing life and reveling in the extremes of emotion. I consider myself just one of the many Portland area songwriter hell bent on bringing back the classic folk sound that inspired previous generation to dole out the likes of free love and harmony. Enjoy the tunes. .. ............Myspace Layouts.. - ..Myspace Editor.. - ..Image Hosting.... ......

  • Influences

    ...... My influences are vast to say the least. I could go on and on throwing out names like Paul Simon, James Taylor, and Jackson Browne, but the reality of it is that I am just to young to take credit for these influences. The first time I ever heard a song by any of these artists was out of the mouth and by the hands of my father. I have to give the credit of my musical foundation to him. He tought me, not only how to fingerpick and chord, but the basics of the instrument like tuning and stringing. Once this foundation had been established, the construction of my own style started to develope. I listened to Depeche Mode, REM, The Violent Fems, and The Cure untill my ears bled with joy, but it wasn't untill I met (again introduced by my Pops) David Wilcox that I understood that I could write beautiful melodies and sappy loves songs and not be considered a big "Sally". I am still influenced by new artists even today. Folks like John Mayer and Sarah McGlachlan continue to fuel my hope of bringing quality songwriting back to the masses. ......
