🎸🔥 In this unforgettable episode of What’s the Reason for This?, we’re joined by Nashville’s own country guitar-slingin’ outlaw, Ben Gallaher—and let’s just say he came in stompin’. From soup cans and toy guitars in Pennsylvania to viral riffs and raw, gritty storytelling, Ben walks us through a career built on authenticity, calloused fingers, and the kind of passion you can feel through the strings. 🎶
✨ Episode Highlights:
🧒 Early Grit – From drumming on soup cans to mastering acoustic rhythm solos as a teenager, Ben shares how a loud kid with a love for 90s country found his way to Nashville at just 19.
🎸 The Riff Heard Round the World – The viral story behind Stomp, a riff he wrote 5 years prior that took off with 35M+ views, sparked a guitar giveaway, and became a breakout hit—proof that music doesn’t need words to hit the soul.
🎙️ True to the Tune – Why Ben left Sony Records to stay true to his sound, how he writes with feeling over theory, and what it really means to “serve the song.”
🏕️ Eagle Scout Energy – From outdoor adventures to emotional performances in max-security prisons, Ben talks about his moral compass, service mindset, and how the outdoors fuels his artistry.
🎶 The New EP ‘Bullet’ – Ben dives into the new tracks like “Bullet,” “Dirt Roads,” and “Mistakes,” showing off his blend of heartland rock, country grit, and emotional storytelling.
🎥 A Music Video That Hits Hard – Behind the scenes of the cinematic “Bullet” video (Bonnie & Clyde meets Romeo & Juliet), why it had to be intense, and how it took the story to another level.
If you’ve ever felt something deep just from a guitar riff, this episode’s for you. From writing by ear to redefining country music on his terms, Ben Gallaher is here to remind us—there are still a few cowboys left. 🤠
