Ike Reilly

Since releasing major label debut, Salesmen and Racists, way back in 2001, singer-songwriter Ike Reilly has been creating what a press release rightly describes as "rebellious punk/folk/country/blues-influenced rock ’n’ roll records that are poetic and cinematic." His latest effort, 2021's Because the Angels, lives up to expectations and balances Dylanesque ballads ("Little Messiahs") with snotty rockers ("Ashes to Ashes"). Reilly performs tonight at 8 at the Beachland Tavern. Johnny Stanec opens.
