LOCAL/LIVE – REILLY -2/10/26
POSTED:: March 2, 2026
FILED UNDER:: In-Studio Performances, Local/Live
Join Music Director Sid and Milwuakee Record’s Matt Wild for another Local/Live with Reilly.
Twice elected Celtic/folk rock band of the year by Wisconsin Area Music Industry, Reilly have garnered a reputation for being an interactive, get-off-your-chair act. The band’s travel circuit around the Midwest continues to grow along with their reputation for being a highly respected and professional level group. National/international programs such as Good Morning Ireland, Blarney on the Air, Irish and Celtic Music Podcast, Eclectic Celt, and Paddy Rock internet radio have featured Reilly and 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 choice in today’s watered down and predictable Celtic scene.
Reilly’s latest release, Milwonkee, is their strongest effort to date and showcases their vibrant songwriting along with musical chops and four-part vocal harmonies. The lead single, “Rise Up” is featured in Irish Music Magazine on their 2026 c.d. sampler. Traditionals such as “The Leaving of Liverpool” and “Mary Mac” 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.
Tune in Tuesday, March 10 at 6 p.m. for a live performance and interview with Reilly on 91.7FM or stream at WMSE.ORG.
Local/Live is engineered by Nicholas Elert.
Local/Live is presented by Out Post Co-op – “We beleive good food brings us together.” and Cedar Teeth Pizza.
