Ryan O’Reilly

Ryan O'Reilly has been described as a brilliant storyteller. The poetry of his songs is characterized by a special symbolism and black humour, whereby he is not afraid to reveal his own fears and speak even unpleasant truths openly. his music is influenced by classic Americana, Irish folk and heartland rock. His songs are inspired by Joe Strummer, Bob Dylan and Gillian Welch. His fragile, raw voice is underlined by the purist instrumentation. The London Evening Standard wrote that Ryan O'Reilly is the perfect counterweight to "production line pop". When O'Reilly plays live with his band, people are addressed through passion and poetry.
