Nashville-based singer/songwriter Don Gallardo (http://www.dongallardo.com) unites the introspective lyrics of Tom Petty, the gritty twang of Steve Earle, and the honey-warm crunch of Ryan Adams, producing a rootsy, personal sound that exists between the boundaries of Americana and mainstream rock. Gallardo's album, Sweetheart Radio Revolution, Etc., is garnered a following from alt-country and Triple A radio stations nationwide with its collection of folk-tinged stories of life and love.

Born in Fairfax, CA, Gallardo is the product of great taste in artistic influences, absorbing healthy doses of the Beatles, Elvis Presley, and Elton John as well as contemporary acts like Wilco, Golden Smog, and the Mother Hips. Originally an active member of the San Francisco music scene, Gallardo relocated to Nashville in 2007.

Gallardo's latest release, "When The Daylight Whispers Darling...", was just released February 14th, 2011. It can be found at all digital outlets (iTunes, Rhapsody, eMusic). It was produced by Neilson Hubbard (Kim Richey, Glen Phillips, Jill Andrews, Garrison Starr). It has already received high praise from Americana review sites in Europe and the U.S. such as No Depression, AltCountryForum.nl, and more.

A dedicated road warrior, Gallardo has opened up for artists such as Roseanne Cash, John Prine, Emmylou Harris, Delbert McClinton, Rogue Wave, the Mother Hips, Molly Hatchet, Peter Rowan, Hot Buttered Rum, Yonder Mt. String Band and Jolie Holland.
