Biography

GALLEON is an Atlanta-based musical group which believes life is too short for ordinary music. Comprised of Elliott & June Michaels, William Easterling, Mike Shea, John Patka, and Martin Alvarez, this electric outfit plays a variety of rock, folk-rock, pop-rock, and modern country; combining well-crafted, tastefully melodic original songs with selected deep-cut cover tunes; and performing it all with style and professionalism. Thus, the band makes music that sails above and beyond all the rest!

GALLEON's music is a fusion of the best elements of jazz, country, blues, gospel, folk, and Latin and African musical styles - the same elements that were fused together to forge rock music in the first place. So it's still rock & roll to GALLEON! Check out this video of our recent live performance at the Rock N Taco restaurant in Atlanta:

The chemistry and camaraderie among musical partners Alvarez, Patka, Shea, Easterling, and Mr. & Mrs. Michaels is most evident in GALLEON's assertive but cohesive sound, imposing stage presence, and commanding performance. The group has played regularly at Atlanta-area nightclubs and concert events, and they are now looking to play their special brand of music throughout the Southeastern United States in the coming months.
