Served in Vietnam. Jammed with Allman Brothers. Scored a hit in France and opened for Iron Maiden. Toured as an opening act with The Judds. Went to the same music school as Quincy Jones, John Mayer, St. Vincent and Aerosmith guitarist Brad Whitford. Shared the stage with Aretha Franklin. A minor league baseball bobblehead souvenir was made in his image. Fans of his music include Stephen King.

“Microwave” Dave Gallaher’s done all that. And much more.
