COLE GALLAGHER – THE CONFLUENCE
Twenty-three-year-old Cole Gallagher is a true rock ‘n’ roll storyteller. His stirring and imaginative songs, propelled by his richly expressive voice and framed within the sound of finely crafted Americana, come at you with a vivid sense of narrative, but one that’s cloaked in mystery.
“They say that the only way to understand the world around you is by looking within,” Gallagher says. “Every time I finish a song, I wonder if I could have said something differently.” He laughs. “I think that makes it hard to understand the art I create, but it keeps me entertained. To me, making music is the purest form of therapy.”
The approach is on full display on Gallagher’s debut EP, The Confluence, a bracing six-song set on which the South Pasadena resident establishes himself as a multi-faceted songwriter, singer and musician. Produced, engineered and mixed by multiple Grammy winner Vance Powell (whose credits include Phish, Chris Stapleton and Jack White, among others), the record brims with lovingly detailed arrangements and exuberant musicianship on which Gallagher lets listeners in on feelings and observations, both stormy and sentimental.
Singles and music videos from Gallagher’s record The Confluence, as well as songs released after his debut EP, have been featured in publications such as Rolling Stone, Holler Country, and CMT, as well as many others. His music has been played across the country on radio stations and racked up over a collective total of one million streams across different platforms.
