Millie & Galín

Originally from Puerto Rico, the married musical duo Millie & Galín have lived in St Augustine for more than 10 years and have been sharing their music with audiences since spring, 2023.

Galín Hernández has a degree in engineering and a master's in aviation. His first love is flying, he is retired from the U.S. Air Force and is an Instrument-rated commercial pilot with more than 3,000 flight hours. Millie Santiago has a degree in accounting, a love of photography and travel, and a passion for music.

Galín pushed himself to become a better guitar player during the pandemic, when he began to practice eight hours a day. Later, he began to sing and play at open mics, where Millie would join him for one song. They developed more numbers and have now performed three-hour gigs as Millie & Galín.

Millie is often the lead singer in their acoustic duo, and Galín plays the guitar and provides backup vocals. Together, they perform popular songs in both Spanish and English at local venues and events around St. Augustine. They harmonize well together and are particularly engaging when performing some of their favorite Latin-rhythm Spanish-language songs.
