As voted Celtic Band of the Year by the Wisconsin Area Music Industry for 2019 and 2015, Reilly has earned a reputation for being an interactive, get off your chair act. The band’s travel circuit around the Midwest continues to grow, and their reputation for being a highly respected and professional group continues to grow. National programs such as Good Morning Ireland, Blarney on the Air, and Paddyrock Internet radio have featured Reilly. Celtic Radio Music Network rates them as five out of five stars. Their ability to adapt Celtic music to an American rock audience and include unexpected rock favorites into their set makes them the perfect eclectic choice in today’s watered-down and predictable Celtic scene.
Reilly’s latest release, Revelry and Regret, is their strongest effort to date and showcases their vibrant tongue-in-cheek humor, musical chops, and four-part vocal harmonies. Original tunes and lyrics serve as a confessional—perfect for an Irish band. See “Fireflies” and “One Can Never Be Overly Prepared” for these episodes. Traditionals like “Paddy Works on the Railway” are given a new coat of rollicking musical paint. Though lyrically wistful at times, the band wastes no time to make a live show truly pop with energy.
Being a strong part of the Irish and non-Irish musical community throughout the Midwest, Reilly have appeared regularly at Milwaukee’s Irish Fest, The Irish Cultural and Heritage Center in Milwaukee, Manhattan, IL Irish Fest, Will County, IL Celtic Fest, Bastille Days in Milwaukee, City of Indianapolis events, Harley-Davidson festivals, River Rhythms in Milwaukee, countless St. Patrick’s parades and activities, Bradley Center events, and at far too many Irish pubs and non-Irish locales around the Midwest to mention. They’ve shared the stage with Gaelic Storm, Flogging Molly, Enter the Haggis, The Prodigals, Barra MacNeils, Seven Nations, The Bridies, Luka Bloom, and more. Members of Reilly are also involved with community and social outfits, such as the Wisconsin Area Music Industry and the Shamrock Club of Wisconsin—Milwaukee Chapter.
No tickets are required for this event. A suggested donation of $5 per person is appreciated. Limited outdoor seating is available, but attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs.
