I was honoured to contribute to this album.
I played keyboards on the starred tracks.
The second single from Galliano's new album “Halfway, Somewhere” is out today on all streaming platforms! It’s a cosmic disco cover of Eddie Chacon’s wonderful “Pleasure, Joy & Happiness”.
Out on the 24th May 2024 on Dome Records the brilliant new version of Bobby Caldwell’s “Down For The Third Time” from Citrus Sun (Bluey from Incognito's side project), featuring Natalie Duncan on vocals and Charlie Allen on guitar.
I was delighted to add synths and vibes on the track 🙌🎹
It’s from their upcoming June album “Anaconga” which you can pre-order from the Dome website here: http://www.domerecords.co.uk/(link is external)
I’m so excited that the first single from the brand new Galliano album 'Circles Going Round The Sun' is released on 22nd May 2024.
The album started life in October 2022 with some jams up at Ernie McKone’s legendary Boogieback Records studios, and this track was one of the first batch. I feel very privileged to have been able to play a part in the creation of this record and can’t wait for the album release later in the year together with a bunch of festival gigs!
The album 'Halfway Somwehere' is released on 30th August and you can pre-order it here: https://galliano.lnk.to/halfwaysomewherewe(link is external)
