Gallie is a critically acclaimed songwriter from Ireland. His album ‘The Occoquan River’ has made it to a number of Best of the year lists from radio and press. Gallie is a natural raconteur who’s performances have been getting rave reviews, at first it sounds like easy listening folk music but combine this with a killer story and you have the masterful art of Gallie and ‘The Occoquan River’.
“One of the outstanding releases this year….The Occoquan River is brilliant.”Paul Gough, The Inside Sleeve, ABC Radio National. Today we are immersed in noise, and surrounded with distraction and insincerity for the most part, yet the voices of authenticity are plentiful in the underbelly of the music world. You needn’t scratch the surface too far to unearth one, and Gallie stands brazen amongst them all. Gallie’s original songs contribute his own colour to a significantly rich canvas that echo the influence of legendary Irish forefathers such as Van Morrison, and extend a warm handshake to folk artists like Neil young and John Martyn.
