Sweet Virginia

Occoquan is a town in Prince William Country, Virginia. The town’s name is derived from an Algonquian Doeg Indian word, meaning “at the end of the water”, and as of the 2010 Census it had a population of a little over 900 residents. It is here you will find Occoquan River.
Singer-songwriter Gallie adopted the name for his new album, the title track of which Triple R’s Brian Wise called one of the best songs of the year. Born in Dublin, the songman gigged all over the world before finding a home in a small fishing village on an island off the coast of Africa, where he spent years surfing and painting. He moved to Australia in 2012. The album features backing vocals from Melbourne Liz Stringer. Ararat Live – November 25.
