Local Fidelity

Local Fidelity is a weekly radio program that showcases the best new music from Brooklyn and the greater New York City area music scene. As an avid participant and gig-goer, host Tom Gallo guides listeners through the depths of the city’s unrivaled underground music scene with specially curated playlists and in-depth interviews with local artists that are just on the verge of breaking out. You can also catch the occasional live in-studio performance and hear recorded performances from Tom’s cassette archive, The McKenzie Tapes, which contains a plethora of live performances at various NYC venues over the course of the last 40 years.
