Earlier this week we released the raw and intimate Ron Gallo version of the Lawsuits' 'Anybody's Girl' for #COVERCLUB! The softer rendition gave ample pause to the heartfelt Brian Strouse lyrics as Gallo sang them on a cold December day in West Philly.
It was this type of reflective day that Ron had back in Chicago a recently while on tour with Toy Soldiers, when the lyrics for his original 'Expensive Hair' started forming in his head. The brand new song, part of an upcoming project, a kind of a concept album of sorts focuses on the humor of the American lifestyle.

This new project is not to be confused with a just finished solo record that should be released sometime this spring, his previous solo work Live at Ortlieb's released last spring or the impressive Toy Soldiers album The Maybe Boys released last fall. 'Expensive Hair' is an example of the most recent songs Ron has been writing, just part of what you can expect at some of the upcoming solo Ron Gallo shows.
If you haven't been fortunate enough to catch him around Philly lately opening up at Kung Fu Necktie, the Victorian Room at North Star Bar, playing Ortlieb's or the Fire in the past few months, rest easy. The first Philly Ron Gallo headlining show is January 30th at Boot & Saddle with Satellite Hearts as the backing band and guests Lucy Stone and Jay Purdy sharing the bill!
Be sure to come out and support Ron and friends as several days later he heads off to California for a few West Coast shows including Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles! Check out Ron's tour page for more details.
