The Port Theatre presents celebrated East Coast songwriter/performer and Order of sa国际传媒 recipient Lennie Gallant on Oct. 7 at 7:30 pm.
Gallant's new recording When We Get There, takes the listener on a literary and musical adventure. Gallant pulls from his wide musical background and varied life experiences to weave his tales in ways that never fail to intrigue and surprise. Early reviews suggest that When We Get There may be Gallant's best album yet.
Gallant grew up surrounded by music, stories and dramatic scenarios. His family is very musical and when he was young, they were often involved in creating concerts and local theatre to help raise money for someone who had fallen on hard times or some other cause.
As a performer, Gallant's intense delivery reaches down to the very soul of his audience, moving effortlessly through stirring narratives, comic observations, and hard driving rhythms. Gallant's performance was recognized in May 2004 when he received the Order of sa国际传媒.
