The Kennedy Center & Renée Fleming VOICES to Present John Gallagher Jr. And Band

Renée Fleming VOICES at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts will present an additional program this season: John Gallagher Jr. and Band, August 10, 2024 at 8 p.m. at the Terrace Theater. The show is part of John Gallagher Jr.'s national tour in conjunction with his third album, Goodbye or Something, which will be released on June 28 by Grand Phony Music.  

Composed entirely by Gallagher, the 11 original tracks that make up Goodbye or Something are the artist's reflection on lost love and the power of music, familial bonds and a good meal to see us through. The album was recorded at Studio G in Brooklyn, NY and features Gallagher on vocals and guitar along with Zach Jones (drums, percussion), Oscar Albis Rodriguez (guitars, piano, keys), Chris Cubeta (harmonium), Hannah Winkler (vocals), and Todd Caldwell (Hammond B3). 

A noted actor, Gallagher has starred in numerous hit film, television, and stage productions including HBO's The Newsroom, indie-drama Short Term 12, thriller 10 Cloverfield Lane, and horror film Hush. He won a Tony Award for his performance in Duncan Sheik's hit musical Spring Awakening, portrayed the Jesus of Suburbia in the Broadway adaptation of Green Day's Grammy-winning rock opera American Idiot, and most recently stars in Swept Away—a new musical featuring songs by The Avett Brothers. Gallagher last appeared at the Kennedy Center on March 9 this year for two sold-out concerts at The Club at Studio K as part of Renée Fleming VOICES.
