EUGENE GALLAGHER
Doors open at 7:00pm Featured performer starts at 8:00pm
Singer songwriter Eugene Gallagher is a solo performer that plays tricked out, acoustic indie rock with lots of effects, heart, and electronic instruments. While beating his acoustic guitar into a thunderous bass drum, and stomping on guitar effects pedals, Eugene plays multiple instruments on stage. Garnering comparisons from Cat Stevens (on LSD) to Lou Barlow, the Stratford, CT based performer explores feeling and sound both deliberately and unpredictably. A husband, father, and hard working average joe, Eugene creates relatable art that makes you feel good.
Eugene draws inspiration from personal experiences and overcoming misfortune. After losing his home and business in the recession, Eugene and his family endured incredible hardship. Determined to provide, Eugene trudged on. Acoustic guitar and harmonica in tow, the modern troubadour makes hopeful music to quell the calamity of everyday life.

History and Mission
A long time ago in a nearby Ct. city, a small contingent of local musicians created their own gig in a rented space. It was dubbed the Phone Booth by the late Singer-Songwriter, David Jaymes.
The object was to bring original bands into a friendly setting where fans can communicate with the bands as well as hear new, experimental, cutting edge music. There are many musical artists of this stripe in Ct. that have very few places to perform publicly. With the help of the OCAC and the Oxford Grange Hall, the Phone Booth hopes to be one of those places. If you have at least 60 min. of original material,(No Covers), and you would like to perform at the Phone Booth, contact musicprograms@oxfordculturalarts.org for more info.
