Episode 762: John Gallagher Jr.
6d ago00:50:48Tap to summarizeThe whole singer-songwriter bit mostly got put on the back burner for the successful Broadway career. It's an all too familiar story. Win a Tony, star in a couple of wildly successful musicals, maybe some Hollywood films, and next thing you know that bit of your life is derailed. The last few years have found Gallagher back on that track, however, including the newly released EP, Almost OK, which finds the musician joyfully reconnecting with a creative spark. Hosted on Acast.

A series of unfortunate events held that solo record, Ride the Storm, in limbo for decades until it saw a proper release in 2017. 38 Special remained a powerhouse of southern rock all those years, before returning to the studio for 2025's Milestone.
