bio
Evan Galante is a producer, engineer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Nashville, TN. He comes from a diverse musical background and brings a unique creative perspective to each project. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, he studied the jazz greats and played saxophone from a young age. His grandmother was a concert pianist, and there was country music and campfire songs surrounding him on the cattle ranch where he spent his summers. Being exposed to such an extensive range of music early on has had a major influence on the way he plays and produces. Evan spent years working in legendary Bay Area recording studios, learning analog consoles, tape machines, and microphone technique. His interest in engineering, producing, and playing guitar took him to Berklee College of Music, where he graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelors of Music and a minor in Architectural Acoustics. Evan returned to the Bay Area to build-out and run a recording studio before moving his operation to Nashville, where he has lived ever since. He has played and toured with artists of all genres as a guitarist, bassist, and drummer. Evan continues to write, record, perform, and produce out of his studio in Nashville.
