ABOUT

JT Galba is a singer, songwriter from San Diego, California currently living in Fresno. From a child, he has been a natural musician and began playing different instruments before settling on guitar. As a young adult, he enrolled in college to study the classical guitar and to teach music. Not too long after college, he became involved in live bands and recording where he excelled quickly and has performed in many venues throughout multiple states. He has recorded and performed on stage with many great musicians and currently plays in a band “Time Capsule” based in Fresno, where he performs lead vocals and guitar.

He writes and performs his music in hopes that it will touch those who hear it and in turn, they will feel the joy of life and appreciate what they have and others around them.

His music is a journey as he interprets the gift of song he has been given and encompassing events and times that people can relate to in their own lives. His song writing is strong, precise and articulate, sending messages to his listeners that while going though hard times, pain and suffering, also reminding them of hope and joy. His influences are from some of the greatest songwriters and musicians in the world. You can hear Blues, Rock, Pop, Christian and even a little bit of Jazz flavor in his new album Train of Life, to be released on May 12, 2015.

Train of life will take you through a journey that he himself traveled. When listening to the album you are greeted with the positive message and joy of the song “Hey” to the pain and suffering of “Sacrifice” and the hard times of “There Go the Lights”. He then reminds us in “When We Were Young” to enjoy life and remember good times. The last song on the album “Train of Life” describes the journey we are all on and can relate to.
