Romano is a partner in his own independent record label, You've Changed Records, along with Steve Lambke, of the Constantines.[5]

Some of his notable visual work includes designs for M. Ward, Ben Kweller, Ladyhawk and City and Colour. A skilled leather craftsman, he has designed and tooled guitar straps for many of his contemporaries (Kathleen Edwards, Bahamas, Travis Good of the Sadies).

Romano's 2011 album Sleep Beneath the Willow was a longlisted nominee for the 2011 Polaris Music Prize,[6] and his 2013 album Come Cry With Me was longlisted for the 2013 Polaris Music Prize.

If I've Only One Time Askin' was nominated for a 2016 Juno Award for Adult Alternative Album of the Year.[7]

On January 4, 2018, Romano released two simultaneous surprise albums, Human Touch and Nerveless.[8]

In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, Romano released several new albums of both newly recorded and archival material in quick succession.[9] This began with the surprise album Visions of the Higher Dream, which was made available on his Bandcamp page for just $3.[10] He followed up with the live album Okay Wow[11] and the studio album Content to Point the Way,[12] both recorded with his backing band The Outfit; and Super Pollen, a collaborative EP recorded with his brother Ian and Mike Haliechuk and Jonah Falco of Fucked Up.[13] In May, he followed up with Forever Love's Fool, a 22-minute progressive rock track recorded with Danny Carey of the band Tool.[14]
