Hat Check Girl

Hat Check Girl is the collaboration between Annie Gallup and Peter Gallway. "29 & Gone" is their 9th recording since they began working together as a duo in 2009. Hat Check Girl is known for literate songwriting, and colorful, atmospheric americana musical landscapes.

Peter Gallway is a songwriter and multi instrumentalist who came up in the Greenwich Village scene of the 1960’s. His first 3 records were released on Warner Bros and Reprise Records. He subsequently put out more than 30 recordings on various labels, both as a solo artist and with The Fifth Avenue Band, The Real Band, Hat Check Girl, and Parker Gray.

As a producer, he oversaw the creation of more than 50 albums, including the Grammy nominated "Bleecker Street : Greenwich Village In The 60's". His most recent solo release, “Laura : The Music Of Laura Nyro”, is an homage to his friendship with Laura Nyro, on whose final album, “Angel In The Dark”, Gallway was a producer. Spring 2025 will see the release of "EN Volume 1", a collaboration between Peter Gallway and acclaimed Japanese guitarist and songwriter Yoshiyuki Sahashi, recorded in Tokyo for Vivid Sound.

Annie Gallup is the winner of numerous songwriting awards, including Kerrville New Folk, and an Art Serve Michigan project grant. She spent a decade and a half on 'the endless tour' of listening rooms, theaters and festivals across the US and Canada, and has 16 solo recordings on various indie labels, including the upcoming “Night Clothes” in the summer of 2025. Recognized as a gifted and inventive songwriter, her work is internationally acclaimed; she was interviewed on NPR’s 'All Things Considered'. The long form video version of her 2023 recording, "Small Fortune", is a semi finalist at several film festivals, including San Francisco Arthouse Shorts, and New York International Women.
