Enda Reilly

With intricate guitar-playing, vocal prowess and a cross-cultural sensibility, Reilly brings the essence of Ireland to American audiences. His latest album, Hy-Brasil, features newly-penned folk songs sung in both English and Irish Gaelic. Reilly loves to provide the cultural context for the music he plays through spellbinding stories and folkloric history. From the ephemeral lakes of a Yeats’ poem to the 16th century ship where Grace O'Malley ruled as the “pirate queen,” Enda Reilly brings the mythic down to earth. Winner of the IMRO Christie Hennessy Songwriting Competition, he has collaborated with Aoife Scott who topped the Irish charts with their song "All Along The Wild Atlantic Way".
