How Far West came together in Nashville, TN and is comprised of Wisconsin born Drummer Tom Reschke who has been playing in the band for a year now. Georgia born Kyler Clark, who lived in Los Angeles for the past 7 years before moving out to Nashville. He is playing Bass and singing backing vocals. Kyler and Don played together for 2 years in Los Angeles. Nashville native, Andrew Sovine plays a mean Lead Guitar with a Mike Campbell-esque attitude and backing vocals. Georgia born, Kyle Everson plays Pedal Steel & Dobro (when he is available). Canadian born Justin Ward plays Banjo, Madolin, and also fills in on Pedal Steel. California born Fiddle player, Sid Walker, has been in Nashville for over 6 years and has played with Billy Currington, Emmerson Drive, Craig Morgan, Rodney Adkins, Mel McDaniel.
Their sound can be described as something like Tom Petty & Bob Dylan driving down an old country dirt road and pick up Johnny Cash hitch-hiking.
They have created an Alt-country, rock n roll, folk sound by mixing classic rock and country twang and with an alternative edge. The songwriting of Don Gallardo provides the band with a seemingly endless supply of new, original material. Don has back catalog of over 200 original songs that he has been slowly bringing to the band that is now being played with new material written consistently week to week.
