Name: Tom Galletta
Profession: Machinist
Location: Blackman Auditorium, One Stop Shop a cappella concert
Question: Why are you here tonight?
Answer: To support my boy
On tonight’s agenda: One Stop Shop, a performance by Northeastern University’s four a cappella groups singing songs from “I’ve Got a Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas to “Hallelujah” by Jeff Buckley. The concert was overall well-received, and after the applause had subsided and the lights had been turned on, I was lucky enough to catch father Tom Galletta.
He was a man of few words, and therefore getting an organic conversation started was too difficult to pull off. However, I did learn that Galletta was a father of one of three Seans in Distilled Harmony, the team that organized and ended the show.
“It was great, great,” he said. “Very enjoyable.”
Though he does not often come to his son’s events because “he doesn’t tell us about every show” and because he “can’t make them all” anyway, he has remained supportive of Sean since he first got involved in a choral group his senior year in high school.
Galletta is a machinist, which means “I make things with metal,” he said.
