Vocalist and songwriter, Tanya Gallagher is one of those artists that shines in a right brain, left brain way and the amalgamation of both imagination and clear vision is what makes the music on her new EP, One Hand on My Heart a sheer delight t savor.  By day, the former NASA intern now works for Santa Rosa County as a cartographer.  Her passion for music is also what drives her liquidity and imagination.  Gallagher explains, “When I describe myself as a scientist and a songwriter, I think people immediately assume there must be this right brain-left brain dichotomy between these two passions but for me they’re almost symbiotic. I don’t think I could have one without the other.” Gallagher enlisted the help of veteran producer Daniel Mendez (Noah Gundersen, The Native Sibling, Alexi Murdoch). Together, they crafted the list of tunes form Gallagher’s catalog of over 200 songs.  They chose songs that has a roots-driven honesty to them.  One Hand on My Heart comprised only the first six with a promise of more to come.
