Tanya Gallagher

Tanya Gallagher Virginia EP "Atop gentle guitar picking and vocal harmonies, Gallagher’s soft, lilting tone and slight twang create a picturesque map of the state, from Norfolk to Richmond to Floyd, as told through the eyes of a hot and cold romance." - Emma Schkloven, The Burg A little town in the Florida panhandle may be the only true home to Southern songstress Tanya Gallagher, but her music spans the country from the coastal plains of the Gulf of Mexico into the far reaches of the Pacific Northwest. Born and raised near the Florida-Alabama line, she spent her formative years along the Gulf Coast studying environmental science and working odd jobs whilst fine-tuning her song-writing skills. Her 2013 release, Oh My Love, reveals beautifully crafted melodies and thoughtful folky refrains, enough to garner the attention of both her US and Canadian peers. Collaborating and performing alongside fellow wordsmiths, her song-writing conveys the honesty and wisdom of a woman who is beginning to establish a musical identity all her own, yet one still rooted in the soulful folky crooners who have paved the way before her. With her calming voice, an acoustic guitar, Gallagher uprooted and moved from Pensacola, Florida to Vancouver, BC in the fall of 2013 to pursue a PhD in Landscape Ecology and continue songwriting. Currently working on a new album for Spring 2018 tanyagallagher.bandcamp.com
