Ben Gallaher

Ben Gallaher fires twin barrels of melody-driven country music and heartland rock and roll with his new EP, Bullet, scheduled for release on May 9 and available now to pre-save / pre-add. Produced by Neil and Patrick Thrasher, Bullet is the latest release from a self-taught, modern-day guitar hero who hit the highway as a teenager, kickstarting an acclaimed career that has since taken the songwriter from small-town Pennsylvania — where he grew up listening to ’90s acts like Brooks & Dunn, Tim McGraw and BlackHawk — to stages across the country opening for the likes of Blake Shelton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hank Williams Jr, Lee Brice and more. The road eventually led Gallaher to Nashville, where he established himself as a triple threat — a singer, songwriter and head-turning lead guitarist. In a town full of guitar slingers, Gallaher immediately stood out, playing riffs and solos that were every bit as melodic as his songs. Lauded as “a promising young songwriter,” by American Songwriter and by CMT for his “authentic artistry,” Gallaher’s recent “Stomp” guitar riff quickly became a viral sensation, generating over 36 million organic social views and earning the rising star nearly 400,000 social media followers. The riff inspired more than 10,000 fan-created videos to-date and earned praise from A-listers including guitar hero Peter Frampton and multi-media superstar Kristin Chenowith.
