Rick Gallagher Project

Rick Gallagher Project is the cross-genre music platform of Pittsburgh based composer/pianist/producer Rick Gallagher. A career jazz pianist/educator, Gallagher brings his creative harmonic approach, melodic vision, improvisational spirit and delicate soulful touch to a blend of musical genres. Gallagher's musical markings relax, stimulate, and inspire. His compositions have been synced to all forms of media ranging from major TV networks to film projects and many other commercial applications across the US and the globe.

Upright Sketches is a series of short solo piano felt compositions (sketches), each accompanied by sketch by artist and designer Mike Meutslee.  In this series, Rick combines his soulful jazz roots and soft touch with the simple beauty of modern neoclassical music recorded on a warm felt piano.
