When asked to
think of something decidedly Italian, one might be tempted to answer ‘Pizza’ or
pasta or even the Catholic Church.
If asked to reel off the most Italian things ‘I’

Antonio Galloway, perhaps because they
are not entirely dissimilar for they are
both hearty, heartwarming and
throroughly satisfying to the senses. Antonio might be an American, but the heart of
an Italian beats firmly in his breast. It is that dolce vita attitude, that
love of life that comes through with each of his performances, the infectious
laugh in the gaps between songs and the telling of a story from his childhood.,
you just KNOW he’s having a good time
behind the mic. You just know that here is Pavarotti singing Show tunes.
