John Gallagher Jr. brings his deeply personal emo folk rock to Godfrey Daniels for an evening of sharp songwriting, dry humor, and close-quarters connection. Writing in an emo folk rock vein, his songs balance roots-driven grit with open-hearted reflection, often threading wry humor through deeply personal moments. Across three records—Six Day Hurricane (2016), 8th and Jane (2021), and Goodbye or Something (2024, Grand Phony Music)—Gallagher has shaped a body of work that’s cathartic, emotional, and grounded in lived experience, performing solo, he delivers songs that balance rootsy drive with vulnerable reflection, making this a natural fit for the attentive, intimate setting of a true Live Music Listening Room.
Beyond the music, Gallagher is widely known as a Tony Award–winning actor with a career spanning Broadway and screen, including roles in Duncan Sheik’s Spring Awakening, Green Day’s American Idiot, The Avett Brothers’ Swept Away, and on screen in The Newsroom, Short Term 12, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and Hush. At Godfrey Daniels, those worlds meet in a way that feels personal and unfiltered.
