Brothers David and Jared Galligan have come from a family
of faith and music. They were raised in a home where both
parents were performing musicians, while their father also
pastored churches full time. This fertile musical and spiritual
ground rooted them in a life totally dependent on God, and
with a dedication to expressing who He is through music.
As they grew in faith, they also
developed their musical skills by singing and learning several
instruments. David learned drums, then picked up guitar and
bass, while Jared went from guitar to bass. The brothers performed
in bands and played in church, while absorbing musical influences
from both inside and outside the church.
The brothers garnered success in
a band they formed in Dallas called "Elihu." The band captured
national airplay with their techno/power rock song, "Free,"
and was among the very top drawing bands in the active Dallas
area Christian alternative club and concert scene. After a
time, the band dissolved. Taking all the lessons and musical
insight they had collected from Elihu, the 2 brothers formed
the tight knit band, "Unshaken." The band features David on
guitar and lead vocals, Jared on bass and backups, Michael
Wright on drums, with powerful synth-driven loops and tracks.
Unshaken’s musical influences include
the power and fullness of Linkin Park, while matching the
spirituality and edgy synth & guitar sound of Skillet.
While David is involved as the
youth pastor at his father’s church in Dallas, the band is
busy with an aggressive schedule of rehearsal, writing and
performing throughout the North Texas area. They are again
getting national airplay with their new material on KTPW in
Dallas.
While their faith and renown continues
to grow, the band remains Unshaken; a committed, focused,
and spiritually grounded band, with a life changing message
delivered in compelling, powerful music.
