Originally from Dublin in the seventies and now based in Australia, Gallie is a seasoned performer
whose evocative stage presence has earned him international acclaim. While widely known for his
award-winning original songwriting, he has also built an exceptional career performing cover sets—
especially across European ski resorts—for over a decade.

Critics have lauded his debut album The Occoquan River as “brilliant” and “haunting”—with Paul
Gough of ABC Radio National calling it “one of the outstanding releases this year,” and Fiachna
O’Braonain of RTE noting: “You can hear every mile travelled by Gallie… it is a beautiful piece of
work, that wraps you in the emotional truth of his music.

On stage, Gallie is known for his mesmerizing baritone voice and a performance style that shifts
from a lonesome whistling entrance—like a miner in the Klondike—to a wild folk-guitar crescendo
backed by his top-tier ensemble featuring Jen Anderson (violin), Shane Reily (guitar), Danny
McKenna (drums), and Tristan Courtney (double bass).

With more than ten ski seasons under his belt, Gallie has performed hundreds of cover gigs in
après-ski venues, chalets, hotel lounges, and resort bars across France, Austria, and Italy. His broad
repertoire spans folk, rock, pop, soul, and blues, all delivered with warmth, charisma, and seamless
international appeal—able to read a room and adapt on the fly.

Though the focus here is his live cover performance, his original career adds considerable weight:
he has supported international artists like Damien Rice, Lisa Hannigan, KT Tunstall, Glen Hansard,
Glen Tilbrook of Squeeze, Newton Faulkner, and performed with legends such as Santana, Chris
Isaak, Jimmy Cliff; he’s been compared favorably to Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison,
and Wilco.

Gallie is a consummate professional—reliable, adaptable, and capable of delivering engaging and
intimate evenings or high-energy social sets, solo or with his ensemble. His ability to connect across
cultures and age groups makes him a perfect fit for ski-season venues eager to offer memorable
entertainment.
