Known for his versatility and mastery of the 7-string guitar, John Gallo has travelled far and wide to perform on many stages, though he now calls Nashville home. Born in Detroit, a city with a rich musical legacy, John was shaped by a deep appreciation for music at an early age. By his early 20s, John was a highly sought after guitarist in Detroit, playing with the likes of Johnny Trudell (original Motown trumpet player) and Michele Ramo (multi-instrumentalist virtuoso). This foundation fuels Gallo's ability to play across genres--jazz, blues, country, rock, Italian, and more.
John's guitar playing has taken him across the United States-- from Key West to Seattle and in between. He has music directed a country band opening for Rascal Flatts, Old Dominion, and Sheryl Crow, to name a few. John has shared the stage in Japan with Jaimee Paul and Leif Shires (Kelly Clarkson). His approachable nature and commitment to excellence make him not only a standout musician, but also a valued collaborator on stage and in the studio. John is available for live performances, in person or virtual recording sessions, and private events.
Some of John Gallo's collaborations include: Il Divo, NBC, Dan Povenmire and Jeff Marsh (creators of Phineas and Ferb), Johnny Trudell (Motown trumpet player), Michele Ramo, Ralphe Armstrong (Mahavishnu Orchestra), Paulina Jayne, Heidi Burson, Jaimee Paul.
