About the Elle Gallo Band
Sultry, soulful and packed with passion that defies specific genres, Elle's performances are sometimes compared to those of Bonnie Raitt, Janis Joplin & Joan Osbourne. Her honesty & sincerity combined with an ability to let herself succumb to lilting and haunting piano lines, the deep funk of David Gagnon's bass groove, the steadiness of Sean Davies' driving kick, and the wailing energy of Ross Hahn's guitar have earned her die-hard fans in New England and beyond who flock to experience a performance that at once yearns and explodes with a raw, naked and powerful expression of a woman doing what she came here to do. Elle and her fella's are notably one of the fastest growing bands in Massachusetts. With only 4 years under thier belts together they regularly sell out 100-200 person venues North of Boston. Boston Battle of The Band Winners (Kings 2009) and Gimmesound.com's fan choice award recipients, they are endorsed by Heineken Light and have opened for Travis Tritt, James Montgomery & J Geils, Duke Robillard, Ernie and The Automatics, Eli Reed, Barrence Whitfield, Entrain and others. Elle is compared mostly to Janis Joplin and Joan Osbourne.
