Gary Allan
Guest Artist
Born Dec. 5, 1967, in Montebello, Calif., and raised in La Mirada, Calif., Gary Allan approached country music from a West Coast perspective to deliver his hit songs "Her Man," "It Would Be You," "Right Where I Need to Be," "Tough Little Boys," and "Songs About Rain."
If you've been to his shows, Allan says, you know that when he sings about "baring my soul for the price of your ticket," he's not just blowing smoke. Since the 2005 studio album Tough All Over, which drew on his experiences coping with the death-by-suicide of his wife, Angela, in 2004, Allan has become known for putting all his emotions on the line in his songs.
He assures his fans, if you've been through tough times yourself, or you're just wondering how he's coping these days, all you have to do is listen to his music. "I don't really talk to people about my situation," he says, "but I feel like since I do write about my life and where I am, you can watch me heal through my music. It's lots easier on me, and I do hope that the music speaks to you."
