ABOUT BEN GALLAHER
Ben Gallaher clocks back in with melody-driven country music and heartland rock on his arena-ready album Time, available now and anchored by his new, country radio single “I’ll Take You.” Produced by Neil and Patrick Thrasher, the project showcases a self-taught, modern-day guitar hero whose high-energy riffs and anthemic songwriting have become his signature.
Raised in small-town Pennsylvania on the sounds of ’90s country greats like Brooks & Dunn, Tim McGraw, and BlackHawk, Gallaher hit the road as a teenager, launching a career that has taken him from club stages to national tours opening for Blake Shelton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hank Williams Jr., Lee Brice, Brantley Gilbert, Tyler Farr, and more. That journey eventually led him to Nashville, where he established himself as a true triple threat: singer, songwriter, and standout lead guitarist.
In a city full of elite players, Gallaher’s melodic riffs and expressive solos set him apart, earning him a spot on Taste of Country’s list of the “20 Best Guitarists in Country Music” alongside heroes like Keith Urban, Vince Gill, Chet Atkins, and Brad Paisley. His viral “Stomp” guitar riff cemented his reputation, generating more than 58 million organic social views, inspiring over 10,000 fan-created videos, and drawing praise from artists including Peter Frampton and Kristin Chenoweth.
Gallaher has been named one of Taste of Country’s “RISERS: 2026 Artists to Watch”, a Country Now “Country Next” artist, an Ole Red “On the Rise” act, and critically lauded by outlets including American Songwriter, Billboard, Country Line, Holler, People, Rolling Stone, Wide Open Country and more. Hailed as a “Top 5 Song You Need to Know” by Rolling Stone Country upon its release, “I’ll Take You,” transforms a heartfelt ballad into a driving, guitar-fueled anthem and impacts U.S. country radio on March 9, 2026.
