Songs for the long road toward the water.

Bill Gallagher has spent four decades making music—from After Eleven and Mightyhead to years beside Christine Havrilla, Whiskey Flowers, and a growing solo catalog. The records are intimate, widescreen, and stubbornly hopeful: Laurel Canyon warmth, Jersey night roads, British melody, and the magic hiding in the midrange.

The next collection, This Bright Life, is taking shape now.
