A podcast
about the songs we love and why we love them.
Music is a truly human creation. It affects everyone differently and for different reasons. Our taste is informed not only by our biology, but by our history and experiences. Join us as we explore our love of music.
Billy Gallagher
Photographer and creator of The Setlisters podcast, Billy envisions a rendezvous point for those that love music so much they can’t help but talk about it.
A former guitarist—though he never played professionally—Billy has always found himself obsessed with music. This deep appreciation goes beyond his own comprehension due to the lack of any formal musical training.
The catalyst for Billy’s musical journey was his father, a professional guitarist himself. He laid the foundation on which Billy would construct his appreciation of music.
