Music types: Americana, Roots Rock
Description:
The Galt Line is a rootsy, swinging duo, often trio, born in Brooklyn and recently returned to their native DC metro area. With wide-ranging influences that include R&B, Rockabilly, Western Swing, Jump Blues, and Gypsy Jazz, they have forged a sound that embraces music history without sounding antiquated.

The Galt Line has developed an act geared toward audiences looking for a good time. Combining classic dance styles with a wry lyrical sensibility and wall-shaking energy, The Galt Line is less interested in moving people and more interested in getting people moving.


Band Members:
BLYTHE CRAWFORD (ukulele, vocals, bottle-cap leg stomper) began playing in April 2008 after receiving her uke in payment for service on Uke Jackson’s “Sex! Drugs! And Ukuleles!” (www.sexdrugsandukuleles.com). Sprouting songs faster than a Chia Pet, she wrote tune after tune after tune. From blithely satirical Honky-Tonk ballads to Southern Blues romps and Swing-styled burners, she turned out songs in many styles that lyrically reflect her playful and critical perspective. WILLIE GAMMELL (guitar) started playing at the age of 15, cutting his teeth on Blues and Psychedelic. Through playing, schooling, and teaching, he developed a solid technique and an ear tuned to the roots of American music. BRIAN TRUESDALE (bass) burst forth from the slimy womb of a mysterious swamp one day long ago with the music of Yes and The Who already rattling around in his brain. He’s been exploding skulls with his bass skills ever
