Unlike many artists, Anthony Gallucio aka Gallucio didn’t have an
epiphany about wanting to perform live. He started with something he
loved—playing guitar--and took some sound advice from a trusted source.
“The performing wasn’t a factor; I just loved to play,” Gallucio says,
adding, “performing came into play from my father’s advice to find
something I love and find a way to make a living doing it.” His passion
for guitar is hard to miss; Gallucio is known as a singer, songwriter
and guitar virtuoso. Audiences are left dazzled by his rapid-fire
agility and effortless delivery of innovative techniques, and his
repertoire includes his originals, spanning many musical genres. In
2001, Gallucio was honored with the Philadelphia Music Award for
“Guitar Player of the Decade”. He’s known for wearing his heart on his
sleeve when he performs, applying a natural flair and style that leaves
audiences breathless. His smile and affability draw audiences night
after night, and Gallucio says he gives everything he has to his
audience, regardless of the size of the venue. “I want people to feel
inspired when they leave my show,” he says. “I like to make people
happy!” Gallucio describes his music as being a “tug-of-war” between
three of his loves: blues, funk and traditional rock-n-roll. His music
is a fusion of old school sound with modern flavors.
