Come sail along with the original rock, folk-rock and modern country music of GALLEON ... Atlanta's unknown supergroup. We're making music real again!
GALLEON is an Atlanta-based musical group which is making music real again and steadfastly believes life is too short to settle for ordinary music. Comprised of Elliott & June Michaels, William Easterling, Andre Fountain, and now seeking other musicians to complete their sound, this electric outfit plays a variety of tasteful, well-crafted original rock, folk-rock, and modern country songs; and performing it all with a very high level of professionalism and our own unique and special style. Thus, the band makes music that sails above and beyond all the rest! The chemistry and camaraderie among musical partners William, June, and Elliott is most evident in Galleon's cohesive and assertive sound, imposing stage presence, and commanding performance. The group appears often at Atlanta-area clubs and concert events, and they now seek other well-qualified and like-hearted musicians (drums, lead guitar, saxophone) to complete their sound as they look forward to playing their special brand of music throughout the Southeastern United States now that the virus crisis has blown out to sea. Booking, auditions, and additional information regarding Galleon are handled as follows: GALLEON! 4364 Thunderfork Drive, Stone Mountain, GA 30083 Telephone: (404) 552-2763 or (404) 374-0100 Official GALLEON EMail Correspondence: galleonmaster@yahoo.com GALLEON ReverbNation Web Page: https://reverbnation.com/galleonrocks GALLEON SoundClick Web Page: https://soundclick.com/galleonsailon GALLEON SoundCloud Web Page: https://soundcloud.com/galleonrocks GALLEON BandCamp Web Page: https://galleonrocks.bandcamp.com GALLEON Facebook Web Page: https://facebook.com/officialgalleonpage GALLEON Number One Music Web Page: https://n1m.com/galleonrocks GALLEON America's Next Top Hitmaker Web Page: https://tophitmaker.org/2025/galleon Don't you miss the boat ... welcome aboard GALLEON!

Lyrics
ROCK & ROLL STILL MATTERS (June E. Michaels/William A. Easterling/Elliott C. Michaels) Moderate rock & roll (128 beats per minute) AEAE A E I fell in love with rock & roll when I was just a lad, Bm F#mE I still play the first guitar that I ever had. AE Rock & roll and me, you might say we grew up together, BmF#mE Rock & roll truly saved my soul through all kinds of weather. DA Oh, I believe that rock & roll is the voice of today's human race. D E And rock & roll is more to me than just another pretty face. DA I will always yearn for those old rock radio stations. GBmE The feeling this music gives me is such an inspiration! F#m E D Rock & Roll Still Matters to me, BmE That hard-driving rhythm sets my soul flyin' free, F#mED Music opened my eyes and made me see, BmE A That Rock & Roll Still Matters to me! G F#m I don't listen when they say, "Oh, rock is just so yesterday! F And power chords are so passe, Esus4EAEAE And using real instruments just ain't the way to play!" A E The music on the dial today sounds so stale, timid and vile! BmF#mE The rock & roll of days gone by has it beat by a mile! A E The tunes I cut my teeth on never fail to make me smile. Bm F#mE They take me right back to the days when we were young and wild! D A Oh, I believe that hip-hop and jazz fusion just don't mean a thing. DE Just give me hot sweet rock & roll that I wanna play and sing. DA The other stuff's all well and fine but not for this rockin' man. GBmE It's time for us rock warriors to make our fearless stand! F#m ED Rock & Roll Still Matters to me, Bm E Those power-driven chords set my soul flyin' free, F#mED Music opened my eyes and made me see, BmEA That Rock & Roll Still Matters to me! C#mF#m Rock & Roll Still Matters, from Floyd and Coldplay to the Platters. D When I say I'm gonna rock you, baby, E You know I ain't saying maybe! F#mB7 Don't keep your feelings on the shelf; go ahead and express yourself; DE AEAE 'Cause Rock & Roll Still Matters ... to you! ... and me too! AEBmF#mE AEBmF#mE D A Oh, I believe that rock & roll was never part of any sinister plot. DE It's just a way to make people happy right on the spot. D A It gives a sweeter high than I ever felt after smoking pot. GBm E So let's get up and dance and clap our hands and give it all we've got! F#m ED Rock & Roll Still Matters to me, BmE The message in the lyrics sets my soul flyin' free, F#mED Music opened my eyes and made me see, BmEA That Rock & Roll Still Matters to me! F#m ED Rock & Roll Still Matters to me, BmE Those fired-up singers set my soul flyin' free, F#m ED Put it all together, it's as great as can be, Bm EA Oh, Rock & Roll Still Matters to me! BmEA Yeah, Rock & Roll Still Matters to me! BmEAEAE I said, Rock & Roll Still Matters ... to me! A (hold for coda) ... Oh, yeah!
