Marty O’Reilly Trio
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 05/03/2023 - 4:57pm
Event Date:
Repeats every week until Wed Jul 19 2023 .
July 19, 2023 - 7:30pm Explaining Marty O’Reilly’s music is like describing a dream. It feels familiar, but at the same time unchartered. His songs sound bluesy but not blues, folk but not folk, soulful but not soul. Marty’s voice is beautiful and unique, his lyrics stark yet lush over gritty electrified guitar, melding beautifully into genre-defying music within the vast definitions of Americana. One can hear an urgency and complexity in the songs, expressing something elemental and perhaps contradictory: love and anger, joy and pain, real and imagined. The live performance is at the core of Marty’s projects.
