Joined by his band, Gallagher brings his experiences to life with songs ranging from Broadway, to music from the hit television show "The OC," to classics from Sammy Cahn, Jules Styne, Burt Bacharach and Van Morrison. Gallagher made his Broadway debut in 1977 as Danny Zuko in "Grease". He later starred as Sky Masterson in the 1992 Tony-Winning revival of "Guys And Dolls" , as well as the musicals "Pal Joey" and "Annie Get Your Gun".

Gallagher also appeared on Broadway with Glenn Close in Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing, but first achieved fame for his role in Steven Soderbergh's Sex, Lies and Videoptape (1989). His film credits include "The Player", "While You Were Sleeping" opposite Sandra Bullock, "American Beauty", "Mr. Deeds" and "The Last Debate". From 2003 to 2007, Gallagher starred as Sandy Cohen, a Jewish public defender and corporate lawyer, on the Fox Television show The O.C.. He hosts an annual award ceremony named "The Sandy Cohen Awards" or The Sandys, which, in honor of his character on The O.C., gives a scholarship to a law school student at UC Berkeley who wants to become a public defender.

Gallagher released an album entitled 7 Days in Memphis in 2005, on the Sony BMG label. This includes a studio recording of his performance of "Don't Give Up On Me" which was featured in an episode of The O.C.
