Gary Allegretto

American Cowboy Magazine calls Gary, “Amazing. You've never seen — or heard anything like him.” True West Magazine raves, “This harmonica wrangler is sure to impress the cowboy hat off of your head.”

Indeed, Gary is quite simply one of the best harmonica players you'll ever see or hear. As if that wasn't enough, he is also a remarkable singer, songwriter, and guitarist. His jaw-dropping talents have earned him an Academy of Western Artists Award, a Best of the West Award, six Western Music Association Award nominations, including Outstanding Entertainer and Outstanding Instrumentalist. He has further been honored with two Grammy Award Nominations in consideration of his unique brand of songwriting and music which has been featured on soundtracks for television and major motion pictures.

His music draws from the very roots of Western music and his imaginative and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny songs paint pictures from his diverse life experience in the West (including work as a ranch hand, forest firefighter, and bouncer in a couple rough honky-tonks). Don't miss an opportunity to witness the world's top “Harmonicowboy”!

As a special bonus Gary will be offering his award-winning "Learn to Play Cowboy Harmonica Instantly" workshop. You'll be thoroughly entertained as you learn to play four Western songs on your shiny new harmonica in lightning speed — guaranteed. This is delightful family fun for adults and kids (5+). NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY AND EVERYTHING IS PROVIDED. Only $25 admission includes top quality harmonicas, song booklets, and everything needed for this remarkably entertaining workshop! A portion of proceeds will be donated to Gary's nonprofit Harmonikids (www.harmonikids.org) which provides music therapy to children with special needs worldwide. Register early… this workshop often sells out. The workshop will be held inside the Historic Genoa Town Hall at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 2nd. See TICKETS page for details and to purchase tickets.
