Last year, after a first act comprised of his stand-up comedy, Gallagher was joined by his musical colleagues, The Dick Bright Band, in the second act to perform some of his favorite tunes. This year the same band returns to Sacramento to perform even more great music and to tell the rock & roll boomer tales that go with them. This is an amazing band of Bay Area musicians, Gallagher beamsThe Rubinoos' Tommy Dunbar and Al Chan, drummer Kevin Hayes (Robert Cray/John Lee Hooker/Van Morrison), keyboardist Allen Leong and the legendary maestro himself, Dick Bright. (World Series viewers saw Dick play "The Star Spangled Banner" during one 2010 World Series game in SF.) "Music has been a huge part of my life since I was 10 or 12. If I'd spent as much time studying for school as I did memorizing lyrics and reading liner notes, I'd be a rocket scientist reveals Gallagher. Last years 24th Street Theatre show sold out quickly by word of mouth so in 2011, a second show has been added: 5 PM and 8:30 PM. Gallagher gives a heads up to ticket buyers: Remember, there is always a chance you might be called on to help the band, so brush up on your rock star moves. Jacks back story: Across the country, PBS viewers know the Emmy-winning Gallagher from his long running shows, Money Track, Money Moves, Off-Limits and Kids, Cash and Common Sense. Network/cable television included his own ABC sitcom Bringing Up Jack, and an occasional recurring role as Larry Davids doctor on the HBO Original Series Curb Your Enthusiasm. A favorite of talk/variety show hosts and audiences, the nationally known stand up comedian has made numerous appearances across the years on The Tonight Show with both Johnny Carson and Jay Leno, as well as NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien. And a certain generation knows him from the 1991 Bobcat Goldthwait cult classic, Shakes the Clown. But it is his oneman monologue shows commissioned by Buck Busfield and the B Street Theatre here in Sacramento that have created Gallaghers die-hard fans. His critically acclaimed works--Letters to Declan (1998), Just The Guy (2003), What He Left (2006) and 2010s brilliant A Different Kind of Cool have given the Irish-American writer and family man a longer-form chance to dig for common truths via his autobiographical and comic exposs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Media: For further information, hi res color JPEGS, other downloadable media and interview arrangements, please contact Mindy Giles/Swell Productions. 916-447-6508. mingiles@gmail.com HYPERLINK "http://www.swell-productions.com" www.swell-productions.com www.jackgallagher.info EMBED Word.Picture.8 E S f 1 2 K L c d e f i j j U#jbPI CJ OJ PJ QJ UVmH j U0J OJ QJ j OJ QJ Uj OJ QJ U5OJ QJ j 5OJ QJ UmH OJ QJ ' T g F G J d e & A x y , ' T g F G J d e & A x y , - R S f g ' ( - .
