Kevin Gallagher Videos

I once did what is called an "Ego Surf" on my own name to see how far up the Google listings the TV show had gotten and any other information that might have popped up in relation to it.

There are of course other people out there with the name "Kevin Gallagher" and one of these people is Kevin R. Gallagher out of New York City, who is a world class classical guitarist.

I had him as a guest on the show and yes, I did have a little bit of fun with the name thing and below is a show where I played up on this by having him host the Friday evening 1 April 2005 show. This was our little April Fools day joke for the viewers, because, after all, I did not specify which Kevin Gallagher would be hosting the show. Well, I am happy to say, that Kevin did a great job of hosting and his guest was fellow guitarist Dominic Frasca.



As I did below with the band Talking To Walls, here are a few songs performed by Mr. Gallagher from a few of some earlier shows I did with him. These were all beautifully produced by my crew, who deserve a lot of thanks for the amazing work they did.

The "Other" Kevin Gallagher

Here's a rather fun show we did with a guy that has the same name as me. He is the "Other" Kevin Gallagher - world champion classical guitarist Kevin R. Gallagher. He is a native of New York City.

New York based classical guitarist and pedagogue Kevin R. Gallagher began playing rock guitar in his formative years but his musical appetite quickly led him to study jazz and ultimately, classical guitar. His renowned gift for the classical guitar won him numerous scholarships and awards while studying with Benjamin Verdery at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music and at the Julliard School under the tutelage of Sharon Isbin.

As one of the world's leading classical guitarists, he was the first-prize winner in the 1993 Guitar Foundation of America, the 1994 American String Teachers Association, and the 1993 Artists International Competition. Most notably, Mr. Gallagher also earned the distinct honor of being the only American classical guitarist ever to win first prize in the prestigious Francisco Tárrega Guitar Competition in Spain (1997).

Following his studies at Julliard, Mr. Gallagher gave many classical guitar performances and masterclasses throughout the world, including those in Spain, Germany, Sweden, Greece, Turkey, Brazil, and England. He has recorded four classical guitar CDs. His recording for Naxos Records Guitar Recital- Music from the Renaissance and Baroque was hailed as "...one of the very best NAXOS guitar recordings" by Classical Guitar Magazine (London) in 2000.

Kevin is also the leader and founder of the chamber rock quartet, Electric Kompany
