Eliot Bronson / Don Gallardo
Eliot Bronson was born in Baltimore, Maryland. He began playing at local coffeehouses and was dubbed a "folk singing wunderkind" by The Baltimore Sun. He later moved to Atlanta, where he formed the duo The Brilliant Inventions. The band became a staple of the Atlanta music scene, winning several local and national music awards and gaining a substantial fan following. In 2010, the band split up and Bronson continued solo, releasing Blackbirds in 2011.
In 2014, Bronson signed with independent music label, Saturn 5 Records. The ten-song self-titled album Eliot Bronson was recorded totally analog in Nashville by producer Dave Cobb (Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell). Going for feel and vibe over modern perfection, he used a rare Helios mixing console and a tape machine on loan from the Norman Petty Estate, which was also used to record Buddy Holly in the 1950's.
The album received critical acclaim and numerous "Top Album" ranking in the United States and Europe. Bronson was dubbed by Bop n Jazz as "maybe the best singer/songwriter since Dylan".
In August 2017, he released his next album James. The album includes "Rough Ride", a song about fellow Baltimorean Freddie Gray.
From the foot of Mount Tamalpais, just north of San Francisco and east of the Pacific shore, to East Nashvilles stubbornly independent community of young artists and musicians, singer/songwriter Don Gallardos path has always steered clear of the mainstream.
Traces of his journey illuminate his newest album. Begin with its title, Still Here, an assertion that he has learned from life and expressed its lessons in songs. Many have taken note already, including MOJO Magazine (Gallardo nods to countrys most distant past while sounding like its very near future), No Depression (highly recommended to fans of great songwriters) and, several times, Rolling Stone, who most recently heralded him as one of 10 Artists You Need To Know in 2017.
The times have caught up with Gallardo, whose love for musical tradition and willingness to melt genre barriers anticipated the Americana boom by at least a decade. On Still Here, The Bitter End conjures a neon-lit honky-tonk. An ambling beat and jaunty clarinet on Stay Awhile suggest a carefree jazz lounge. Raw roots-rock, a storefront church testimonial, an intimate acoustic-and-steel waltz each track is an echo of something Gallardo heard and filed away until the right lyric came along.
And lyrics have always been central to his writing. Poetic sensitivity, honesty, and sprinkles of humor find common ground throughout Still Here.
