A self-taught musician with a strong reverence for guitar masters, Ben Gallaher’s songs radiate a passion for the lyric-driven country music that influenced him as a young boy listening to his parents’ radio in small town Pennsylvania. The burgeoning star’s vocals exude a smoky texture reflective of the backwoods bars in which the young artist honed his unbridled stagecraft, driving to the Eastern corridor to perform each weekend while pursuing a degree in Entertainment Industry Studies at Nashville’s Belmont University.

A self-professed road warrior who cut his teeth performing for more than a decade in Pennsylvania prisons, Gallaher also is an avid songwriter and estimates he’s written 400 songs over the last several years. He signed a publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music in 2019. Two years later, he inked a record deal with Stone Country Records. His debut full-length album follows Gallaher’s 2021 EP, Every Small Town.
