Oct 1, 2026 · 19 min · 10 segments
Caity Gallagher is an indie folk singer-songwriter from Troy, NY. We discuss her journey from therapist to full-time musician and how she's built her musical community.
All right, so I can already hear the people jumping into the comments and saying, "Well, Troy, that's not the Catskills or the Hudson Valley."
But I've always personally always thought of the Albany area kind of as, like, where the Hudson Valley begins or ends.
Plus, we met in the Catskills, uh, at Brett Miller's songwriting camp, uh, a couple of years ago.
