Brian Fallon, born in 1980 and from Red Bank, made his name as the lead singer, rhythm guitarist and chief lyricist of the Gaslight Anthem, who have 6 studio albums behind them. He also moonlighted in the Horrible Crowes, a duo with Ian Perkins, the Gaslight Anthem's guitar tech and touring guitarist.
In 2016 he stepped out on his own with Painkillers, trading some of the band's roar for something warmer and more worn-in: heart-on-sleeve rock songs like "A Wonderful Life" and "Steve McQueen" that sound built for long drives and last calls. Sleepwalkers followed in 2018 with "Forget Me Not", and Local Honey in 2020 pared things down again with "Lonely For You Only". Since 2016 he has put out five solo albums and an EP.
