Galleon is an Atlanta-based musical group which is making music great again and also firmly believes life is much too short to settle for ordinary music. Comprised of Elliott & June Michaels and William Easterling, this electric outfit plays a variety of rock, folk-rock, and modern country music; blending tastefully melodic, well-crafted original songs with choice eclectic cover tunes, and performing it all with professionalism and style. Thus, the band makes music that sails above and beyond all the rest!

Galleon's music is a fusion of the best elements of jazz, country, blues, gospel, folk, and African and Latin musical styles - the very same elements which were fused together to forge rock music in the first place. So it's still rock & roll to Galleon!

Galleon founder and skipper ELLIOTT MICHAELS (guitar, lead vocals, songwriting) is a seasoned veteran of the music scenes in New York, Los Angeles, and Atlanta. He founded Galleon in 1994 and has been maintaining and improving it ever since. Michaels' impeccable vocal styling and right-on-the-mark songwriting are the foundation on which was built the Galleon! As for his guitar playing, well ... Elliott's a terrific singer and don't you forget it!

Galleon's current lineup also features WILLIAM EASTERLING (polyphonic synthesizer, organ, electric piano, harmony vocals, songwriting), a classically-trained musician with an eclectic pop sensibility who plays tastefully and doesn't overplay; and Elliott's lovely wife JUNE ELISE MICHAELS (weapons of hand percussion, background vocals, lyrics, administrative support), a long-time new music devotee with lots of get-up-and-go. The spirit, enthusiasm, and professionalism of these musicians helps ensure smooth sailing for Galleon!

The chemistry and camaraderie among musical partners William, June and Elliott is most evident in Galleon's cohesive and assertive sound, imposing stage presence, and commanding performance. Check out this video to get an idea of how the group performs in concert:

	OPEN UP YOUR SOUL (Rubin/Easterling/Michaels) This may be GALLEON's best shot at a hit yet. As always, listen and judge for yourself that you may be the better judge.		Progressive Folk Rock
	OPTIONS (Michaels) This is GALLEON's best shot at a hit. It has "major label" written all over it. Listen and judge for yourself!		Power Pop
	I NEED LOVE (Michaels/Tuchband) This is about a feeling all human beings go through at one time or another. Everybody needs someone else to open a door. We're all the same in that respect.		Pop Rock
	IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER (Butler/Hoshko/Michaels) This is a 1991 collaboration between Galleon leader Elliott Michaels and two of his fellow musicians in Los Angeles, Patrick Butler and Steve Hoshko. It was written at a time when Michaels was having it rough economically, emotionally, socially and musically. Listen to the lyrics and understand what Elliott was going through at the time. And in case you're wondering, IT HAS GOTTEN MUCH BETTER!		Blues Rock
	FAIR-WEATHER FRIENDS (Michaels/Tuchband) We all get used now and then, and we all use others now and then. But some people get used much more than others. This is the story of one of these people.		Folk Rock
	LOST LOVE'S L.A.MENT (Russell/Michaels) This is a labor of love on my part, as well as a departure from my normal songwriting procedure. I have taken snippets from several compositions by my friend and colleague L.A. Russell, spliced them together with additional parts of my own, and made a brand-new song which I believe is really worth hearing. The song is available here as an audio and video recording. Happy listening, and thank you, L.A. Without your inspiration and perseverance this song could not exist. LOST LOVE'S L.A.MENT - solo performance by Elliott Michaels from ELLIOTT MICHAELS on Vimeo.		Country Folk
	MAKE A MIRACLE (Michaels) This is a song written in 1987 by Galleon leader ELLIOTT MICHAELS. The song is all about the homeless and what we all need to do in order to help them. The lyrics may be even more important now than they were over 30 years ago.		Contemporary A/C
	ROCK 'N' ROLL STILL MATTERS (Michaels/Easterling) This may well be GALLEON's next big hit. Listen and get into the groove!		Melodic Rock
	REBEL REBEL (David Bowie) - 11/05/2021 in Concert This is an audio recording and video clip of GALLEON covering "Rebel Rebel" by the late David Bowie, live at Dancing Skulls in Alpharetta, GA, on Friday evening November 5, 2021.		Dance Rock
	PARTING SHOT (Michaels) This song is about love which no longer exists.		Modern Country
