His debut album "The Occoquan River" received critical acclaim in Australia, USA and Ireland.
​
Music critics have compared him to the best - Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison and Wilco.
ABC Radio National’s "Inside Sleeve" broadcaster, Paul Gough stated, “One of the outstanding releases this year....’The Occoquan River’ is brilliant.”
While Ireland’s RTE Radio 1’s Late Date presenter, Fiachna O’Braonain said “You can hear every mile travelled by Gallie on his adventurous journey to making The Occoquan River… it is a beautiful piece of work, that takes you on Gallie's literary journey and wraps you in the emotional truth of his music.”
“The Occoquan River is one of the best songs of the year – Australian or International.”
