Biography :
Geared
towards stage and theater, private and corporate parties, wine bars, bistros,
and upscale restaurants as
relaxing background ambiance, the music of David Gallegos is an all acoustic,
instrumental latin new age /
nuevo flamenco style.
Performing
a mix of originals from his CD, "Mis Recuerdos" as well as covers
of artists in the same genre, David
and his band perform with extreme passion and emotion.
The band
has been together and performing since late 2005, but between each musician,
everyone has had many
years of experience performing in various styles of bands.
David,
having picked up the guitar at the age of 13, has been playing well over 23
years now. Originally playing
rock and metal for the greater portion of his career, David eventually began
listening to and writing music with a
softer, more emotional touch. In 2003, he decided to branch off from the progressive
metal writing with his band,
Power of Omens, and begin work on his first full-length latin new age CD.
Already a 12 year veteran to the music
industry, with 2 internationally released CDs, contribution to a Queensryche
tribute CD, and as a guest artist on
one of Sony Recording Tejano Artists, Eddie Gonzales' CD, David took his experience
and decided to write, record,
design, and release his CD completely on his own. After a year of hard work,
the CD, 'Mis Recuerdos' was finally
self-released in the Fall / Winter of 2004.
Now with
a completed CD, and the desire to begin showcasing his music, David became
a member of BMI in 2005,
and decided to move from his home in San Antonio to Dallas, where he felt
he would have better opportunities
playing out and getting recognition for his music.
Since
the beginning of 2006, the band has aggressively begun to play out. From wine
bars and bistros to restaurants
and festivals. As regulars at The Broadway Bistro in Carrollton, Xouba Lounge
in Arlington, Pearl at Commerce and
Rouge Restaurant in Dallas, to the Morton Meyerson Symphony Hall's Hispanic
Festival in Dallas' beautiful art
district and Sundance Square in Ft. Worth. The band continues working hard
and is constantly looking for new
bookings.
Now,
after four long years, David has finally released his follow up CD, Mi Rosa
Blanca. Inspired by love and
passion, this CD combines traditional flamenco rhythms with serene new age
melodies to create an ambient
soundscape with a Latin flare.
With
this new CD in pocket, there is so much in store for David and his band...
so keep a look out for him, and
always check this website for upcoming events and happenings.
