Artist Information

Biography

Unlike many artists, Anthony Gallucio aka Gallucio didn’t have an epiphany about wanting to perform live. He started with something he loved—playing guitar--and took some sound advice from a trusted source.

“The performing wasn’t a factor; I just loved to play,” Gallucio says, adding, “performing came into play from my father’s advice to find something I love and find a way to make a living doing it.”

His passion for guitar is hard to miss; Gallucio is known as a singer, songwriter and guitar virtuoso. Audiences are left dazzled by his rapid-fire agility and effortless delivery of innovative techniques, and his repertoire includes his originals, spanning many musical genres.

In 2001, Gallucio was honored with the Philadelphia Music Award for “Guitar Player of the Decade”.

He’s known for wearing his heart on his sleeve when he performs, applying a natural flair and style that leaves audiences breathless. His smile and affability draw audiences night after night, and Gallucio says he gives everything he has to his audience, regardless of the size of the venue. “I want people to feel inspired when they leave my show,” he says. “I like to make people happy!”

Gallucio describes his music as being a “tug-of-war” between three of his loves: blues, funk and traditional rock-n-roll. His music is a fusion of old school sound with modern flavors.

Gallucio recently completed his debut album “All for You” produced by Grammy™ nominated engineer/producer David Ivory (Erykah Badu, The Roots, Silvertide, Halestorm, Kindred, Patti LaBelle, Bo Didley) and has recently signed with International Artist Management and Publicity firm ALLURE Media Entertainment Group based in Philadelphia, New York, and Los Angeles. Additionally, Silvertide's guitarist, Nick Perry, superstar Bunny Sigler, and legendary reggae guitarist Earl “Chinna” Smith (Bob Marley & The Whalers, Josh Stone) made guest appearances on the new album.

When the hard-working musician allows himself time to imagine his dream gig, he envisions two venues. “The Grand ‘Ol Opry, because only the best of the best get to play there, would be a true honor,” he says, “and the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, because I grew up seeing concerts at the Spectrum and that would like I’d really made it.”

His preferred method to structure music begins with the melody, and the origin of his music is experiential, based both on what he feels inside and what he observes around him.

What sets Gallucio apart from many artists is a realistic view of his position in the music industry and what he has to do to keep playing to larger and larger audiences. Ask him about achieving commercial success and retaining his artistic integrity, and his reply is “I’ll let you know when I get there.”

Perhaps what reveals most about this rising talent is his perspective on the biggest challenge he faces as an indie artist: “Staying true to what I believe without bending to what everyone is telling me to do. I need to keep my music the way I feel it should be without letting it be changed by everyone. I want it to be commercially marketable, but it still needs to be mine.”

• Los Angeles/Miami Filmmaker Brent Bambic chooses two songs from Wilmington’s Gallucio debut album for his new movie [+ Show ]
  

  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 24, 2007 Two tracks from Wilmington based band Gallucio’s debut alb...FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
  April 24, 2007
  
  Two tracks from Wilmington based band Gallucio’s debut album have been chosen by Miami/Los Angeles based filmmaker Brent Bambic for his upcoming movie “Exploring Love” scheduled for premier in 2007.
  
  “It just keeps getting better and better” states Gallucio manager Ken Cavalier of The Allure Media Entertainment Group. “Everyday something big keeps happening for Anthony and his band’s career. This band, with its riveting songs and high energy stage performance is destined for stardom … there’s no question in our minds. The song placement in the upcoming movie is definitely a great stepping stone.” states Cavalier.
  
  The debut album produced and engineered by industry heavyweight and Grammy nominated engineer/producer David Ivory (SilverTide, The Roots, HaleStorm, Patti LaBelle) is packed with great song after great song. “There are so many strong cuts on this record, it will be extremely difficult to pick the first single release.” states Ivory.
  
  Bambic first chose one track from the album “Take Me Down” but when presented with more material from the album, he couldn’t resist including the title track from the album “All for You” as well as “Take Me Down”. Look for the release of “Exploring Love” in 2007 featuring songs by Gallucio.

  Gallucio - All For You / 2007 Cornerless / 11 Tracks /
  http://www.gallucio.com / Reviewed 04 June 2007
  
  The sharp guitar line that starts out "California Jesus", the first
  track on "All For You", gives the disc a nice energy with which to work
  off of. This is needed, especially since Gallucio's vocals during this
  track are a little bit slower (while still having an energy of their
  own, they are bolstered considerably by the guitar work). By the time
  the chorus hits, I really have a feel Gallucio as creating the same
  type of rock that a band like KISS would do on their "Psycho Circus"
  album.
  
  It is hard hitting while still having hints of pop rock in it, it is
  fresh while still having older styles present. It is the perfect style
  of music for both older and younger rock fans to sink their teeth into,
  and it is a combination of these two groups that continue to listen as
  Gallucio moves into eir second track of "All For You", "Eye To The
  Sky". "Eye To The Sky" is a track that removes some of the harder edges
  of "California Jesus", but adds a Santana-like set of guitars to the
  track to make up for that deletion. The instrumentation again keeps the
  energy high; Gallucio has strung together two strong tracks to open up
  "All For You". The drum beat that opens up "Everything Changes" does
  mark a change in the overall music, and also shows that Gallucio can do
  a slower track without losing the momentum that ey had created up to
  that point.
  
  There seems to be a snowball thing going on, where the slower sound of
  the opening gradually goes faster until there is a gut-churning,
  quicker chorus immersing anyone that may be listening in. Again, as
  with the rest of the tracks on "All For You", I would not be surprised
  if I heard this on a rock station. "Take Me Down" adds a healthy
  heaping of nineties alternative rock and hints of country to the
  overall mix. The sound of this track is more along the lines of a
  Dishwalla, but Gallucio bounces back and forth between an older and
  newer style. If one is looking for good, traditional, but current rock,
  "All For You" is the perfect album. There is a high amount of replay on
  this disc, and Gallucio will undoubtedly come out with another album
  before this disc gets old in the slightest. Pick it up!
