Friday Music On Tap at Breton Brewing with RG Schaller
RG Schaller is a singer/songwriter from a recovering ex-steel town in Eastern Canada. He writes from a blue-collar point of view and, with his acoustic guitar, stays true to the core of Country and Folk music. RG has released two full length albums—Songs From Dirt Roads, B-Sides and Other Lies—and four singles, all of which can be found on Sirus XM, iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify and heard on the radio across the country and in the States. The talented songwriter also fronts RG & The Peacemakers, an elusive seven-piece unit pushing smokin’ originals, forged with multiple musical styles that come together in a powerful mix of alt-folk, outlaw country, storyteller, funk-blues, and east coast rock.
