The singer and songwriter from Hawaii
known as Jamie Gallo has released her much awaited full-length
record, “Awakening.” The LP contains 10 original tracks for an
approximate total listening time of 40 minutes. It has been published
as an independent music release without the involvement of the
corporate music industry. Melodic, rocking, thrilling, beautiful,
powerful and full of the original alternative rock tradition,
“Awakening” by Jamie Gallo is the rock record the scene has been
wanting.
Jamie Gallo cites as main artistic
influences Joni Mitchell, Thom Yorke, Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan,
Christina Aguilera, Stevie Nicks, and Al Green. Her own vocal sound
and style reflects her great taste in music, having elements of
Mitchell and Nicks both, as well as the precision of Houston and the
insouciance of Aguilera. Gallo's overall tone blends groove with
grunge and adds a touch of funk. Her “Awakening” album also
boasts that particular tenor of folk-rock which gave the original
alternative rock groups, bands like Blind Melon and Soul Asylum, the
ability to play hard with acoustic instruments or lightly while
plugged in.
Like many of the world's best
musicians, Jamie Gallo got her start in music via Sunday psalms.
“I got my first guitar when I was
five years old and started singing in church,” she writes. “I was
a closet rock junkie as my cousin Johnny turned me on to Beatles and
'70s rock. He was my first inspiration.”
As one might intuit from the title of
her record, the themes of “Awakening” remain close to her
rock-n-roll roots.
“The songs on this album represent
spiritual, relational and social 'Awakening,'” she writes. “We go
through life hoping to gain wisdom from the lessons we learn, and
with love that has been burned with each experience we are awakened.”
Jamie Gallo's current official bio
describes her as a mother, writer, advocate, lover and student of
life. She has written for film, documentaries, and TV. Playing often
on her island home of Maui, her music has been heard as far away as
Hollywood, Colorado, Germany, and even China.
“Awakening” by Jamie Gallo is
available online worldwide. Fans of alternative rock should get in
early.
