Don Gallardo has called Nashville home for over 11 years. He has his heart in the East Nashville sound and scene, but his California roots are never far away. Gallardo has weaved his 1970’s Laurel Canyon influences into modern roots-Americana, while mixing southern and western sounds comfortably. He has released 5 full-length albums, an EP, a live In-studio acoustic album, and a live album. He is set to release a brand new 7-song EP featuring new original music and a cover. All songs feature British/Nashville songstress Lilly Winwood on vocals. Gallardo and Winwood’s vocals mesh well together, as if they have been singing together for years. The new album titled, “In The Name Of Good Intentions,” is set to release in July 2019 in UK/EU and September 2019 Worldwide. This is Gallardo’s first album solely produced and engineered on his own. The album was mixed by Dave Coleman, with the help of Gallardo.

Gallardo’s past albums have featured Nashville legendary musicians that have played with or currently play with artists such as Johnny Cash, Sturgill Simpson, Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Buddy Miller, Margo Price, The Steeldrivers, Old Crow Medicine Show and more.

Gallardo tours throughout the US, UK, Germany, Spain and Mexico.

Gallardo’s last two albums, HICKORY and STILL HERE, received high marks: The Telegraph called Hickory, released in the UK by Clubhouse Records, “One of the Best Country Music Albums of 2015” along with Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, Patty Griffin, Justin Townes Earle, & more. MOJO Magazine gave both Still Here & Hickory “4 Stars” and in 2016 Rolling Stone called Gallardo “A singer-songwriter that is one of the Country and Americana scene's true journeymen.”


Gallardo’s work has been prominently featured in films "Jolene" and Jackass Presents "Bad Grandpa" as well as highly popular television series, "The Vampire Diaries," ABC's "Nashville,” and Netflix series “The Ranch,” where it aired on two consecutive episodes.


Rolling Stone has mentioned Gallardo several times in the past two years to include naming him “Artist You Need to Know” in 2017. Additionally, they premiered his video for “Diamonds & Gold” from the album HICKORY:

"The intersection of folk, road-worn country and amplified bluegrass, performed by a singer-songwriter who began earning his road-dog stripes before the new millennium."
- ROLLING STONE 2017

​“A singer-songwriter that is one of the Country and Americana scene's true journeymen.”
- ROLLING STONE - 2016

4 of 5 Stars “Nashville Singer-songwriter continues Country’s regeneration. Gallardo nods to country’s most distant past while sounding like its very near future.”
- MOJO Magazine

"If you appreciate the good stuff- the stand by artists and albums that never let you down: Wilco, Beatles, The Band, Neil Young, Bob Dylan. There is enough complicated listening out there and our ears deserve something that’s righteous, honest and ballsy in just the right spots and Gallardo nails that equation"
