Peter Gallway and The Real Band
Back by Popular Demand! Peter Gallway and The Real Band at St. Lawrence Arts. The last show on August 17th was such an amazing success and so much fun! We had so many requests to bring them back soon, so WE ARE!
Throughout the 1970s and 80s, Peter Gallway was one of the most popular and respected musical figures on the Maine music scene. Peter and The Real Band recorded and released several critically acclaimed albums and crisscrossed the region as one of the most popular and hardest-working live bands in New England.
Gallway also produced many other local artists, most notably albums by Devonsquare and Aztec Two Step. The Portland Press Herald wrote in 1985, that it is no figure of speech to say that Peter Gallway is the rock and roll laureate of Maine.
Before playing St. Lawrence Arts on August 24th, his last headlining show in Maine was in 1988 before moving to his native New York City and then Southern California where he made over a dozen full length albums and produced dozens of others for other artists. However, in 2017, as his residence on Ojai, California was surrounded by wildfire, Gallway and his wife and partner, the acclaimed singer-songwriter Annie Gallup, looked at each other and realized it was time to return to Maine. Maine has remained in my blood and memory as a place of musical creativity Gallway says, and most of all, a feeling of home. They have recently relocated to the Rockland area where they will continue their musical careers.
On October 21st Gallway will play his second headlining show in Maine in almost 25 years as he takes the stage for another very special performance. Accompanied by The Real Band (Mark Wainer, Andrea Re), Gallway will play material from throughout his career and his most recent album Feels Like Religion. This intimate show will begin at 7PM.
