Rick Meagher of One Eyed Reilly has the goods on Irish music, Listening Lyrics, Nov. 22, 2024

Listening Lyrics had a great conversation with Rick Meagher (pictured)! The blend of traditional Irish sounds and personal expression that he brings to his music with One Eyed Reilly is special. It’s always exciting to hear from someone so passionate about their craft, especially in a genre as rich and storied as Irish music. Rick shared some insights into the band's approach to Irish folk in his original compositions.

One Eyed Reilly blends well-crafted original songs with modern Celtic rock, Americana, and wildly energetic, occasionally over-caffeinated versions of traditional Irish classics but even more so the original songs this band generates. Live performances are a whirlwind of Irish-themed originals, with a cheeky sprinkle of covers by Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, and even the odd bit of Bob Dylan or the Grateful Dead—because why not throw some rootsy rock in with your pint of Guinness? It’s like an Irish pub jam session with a rock 'n' roll attitude—just with more fiddles and less actual eye-patches than you’d expect!

The Yolo County Breakdown for 10:00am on Nov 22, 2024

This installment of the Yolo County Breakdown features traditional bluegrass from the likes of Lester, Earl, Doc, Carter and Ralph - but it also stretches things out and hits some New Orleans Jazz and a talking blues. But Rocky guarantees one thing: it's all good for the eardrums.
