Real Life is Meeting presents eight tracks varying in styles and instrumentation, from the catchy, art-pop flavor of \u201cBigger on the Inside,\u201d to the experimental, synth-based \u201cThe Only Thing,\u201d to the 19-minute piece \u201c1000,\u201d all the while taking the listener in unexpected directions. <\/p>\n<p>Real Life is Meeting showcases Galgano\u2019s humor, his introspective and confessional lyrics, and his surprising song structures. In turns breathtakingly adventurous and heartrendingly beautiful, this music represents a musician and songwriter unencumbered by any preconceived ideas. The result is a fluid, naked, and daring collection of universal musings set to music &#8211; meditations on what it means to be human in the 21st century.<\/p>\n<p>Galgano also recently played bass on Renaissance keyboardist Jason Hart\u2019s new release, I and Thou\u2019s Speak. Galgano has performed with IZZ at many art-rock festivals in the United States and Canada and has played bass for Hart while serving as the opening act during two Marillion Weekends (2007, 2011).<\/p>\n<p>The line-up for Real Life is Meeting is:<\/p>\n<p>John Galgano: Bass guitar, vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards<br \/>Laura Meade: Vocals<br \/>Paul Bremner: Electric guitar solos on \u201cThe Only Thing\u201d and \u201cLook Around\u201d<br \/>Brian Coralian: Drums on \u201cLucky for Me\u201d and \u201c1000\u201d<br \/>Greg DiMiceli: Drums on \u201cThis is How it Happens\u201d<br \/>Shawn Bishop: Backing vocals, keyboards, percussion<br \/>John Raimondo: Drums on \u201cBigger on the Inside,\u201d \u201cThe Only Thing\u201d and \u201cLook Around\u201d<br \/>Chris Baldini: Lead vocals on \u201cLook Around\u201d<br \/>Greg Meade: Electric guitar solo on \u201cLucky for Me\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mixed and Produced by Shawn Bishop<br \/>Mastered by Grammy-nominated engineer John Shyloski<\/p>\n<p>Sources: <\/p>\n<p>www.facebook.com\/johngalganomusic <br \/>twitter: @johngalmusic<br \/>www.izznet.com<br \/>www.facebook.com\/izzmusic <br \/>twitter: @izzmusic<br \/>www.facebook.com\/laurameademusic<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doone Records is pleased to announce the release of Real Life is Meeting, the debut&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2035"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2035\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
