About Gary Allegretto:
Gary Allegretto is a one-of-a kind artist that keeps you on the edge of your seat with his dazzling originality. As Western Horseman Magazine raves; “Gary's music transcends genres, generations and cultural barriers, yet is so professional and engaging that listeners can’t help but want to ride along a while longer and discover something new in a song.” Not only is Gary the best harmonica player you will likely ever hear, he is a remarkable singer, songwriter, guitarist and a masterful entertainer. His talents have earned him Grammy Nominations, the International Western Music Association’s coveted "Performer of the Year Award”, the Blues Foundation’s prestigious "Keeping the Blues Alive Award”, and an Academy of Western Artist’s Will Rogers Award. His songs have reached the #1 spot on the Western Music radio charts and his music is featured in major motion picture soundtracks and television. Gary’s engaging, inspirational, and occasionally laugh-out-loud songs delight his audiences as he tells stories drawn from his rich and diverse life experience in the West (including ranch hand, forest firefighter as a USFS Hotshot, and bouncer in a couple of rough honky-tonks).
