The Galen Kipar Project
The music of the Galen Kipar Project was born out of a passion for the exploration of sound and composition. Within the woven eclectic sounds of the instrumentation, we are introduced to a poetic journey that is present in each of the Project's songs. The roots of blues, soul folk, world beat, classical and jazz, are echoed within the overall chemistry of the Project's music. In addition to the band's three core members, the GKP frequently features the talent of guest musicians who compliment the band's sound with such elements as female vocals, double bass, cello, violin, mandolin, tuba, trumpet, piano and B3 organ. With such additions lending to the Project's creativity and flexibility, these contributions unquestionably add depth and texture enhancing the musical experience. Throughout its evolution, the music of the Galen Kipar Project has matured to a sound that is undeniably original.
The Galen Kipar Project has been an ever-evolving musical experience that has gathered a tapestry of musicians and instruments over the past 10 years. Each musician has brought something special to the sound, keeping things fresh, spontaneous, and energized. The Galen Kipar Project began as the efforts of one young Galen, inspired by the music of Paul Simon, Dylan, Cat Stevens, and Joni Mitchell. Through these influences he gained the ambition to teach himself how to sing, play guitar and harmonica simultaneously allowing him to begin the exploration of composition and the art of creating music. The GKP has grown to embrace the passion and energy of each musician involved in the project. The GKP has been a journey of self-discovery, music, and friendship. As they continuously challenge themselves to create a profound musical experience for their listeners and for each other, their music has gained the strength of genuine maturity.
