Galen
Galen Weston is a Canadian guitarist and composer who recently celebrated the successful launch of his debut album, “Plugged In”. The Blujazz Label artist who is well-received by his peers and critics alike, claims inspiration from notable guitarists like Carlos Santana, Tommy Emmanuel, George Benson, Eric Johnson, and Pat Metheny. Although inspired by many greats, Weston has a voice truly his own and is able of creating an original musical landscape that transcends both music genres and time.
The Album
“Plugged In” features 10 of Weston’s original songs plus arrangements of Keith Jarrett’s “Country” and Jimmy Van Heusen’s “Like Someone in Love”. The album is available as an autographed CD or a name-your-price digital download on galenweston.org, and for streaming on Spotify and SoundCloud.
