For the past eight years, there is a group of musicians that have been going about the town playing music for the young and old, and everyone who enjoys some good old fashioned Irish Newfoundland Music. They have jumped at every opportunity that has come their way from playing charity events for the health foundation, Big Brothers and Sisters, to cancer research, or showcasing their talents at events like the Music Industry Association Awards Gala, local festivals and concerts, to the first annual Bluegrass Festival ever held in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
They are a band consisting of six family members and friends. They love performing their material in front of crowds on any day of the week. In the evening hours, at least once a week, the guys all get together to rehearse new material for upcoming shows and events. What started out as just a couple of guys getting together to play for the fun and love of music, quickly turned into a second job, but still keeping all the fun in it.
For moe than eight years, Greeley's Reel has evolved from a kitchen/basement band in Upper Island Cove, to one of the most enjoyable party bands on the Avalon Peninsula. They are known for their bone-chilling harmonies, and their great mixture of Irish, Newfoundland, Folk, and Bluegrass Music, with crowd pleasing jigs and reels, and shanty's such as "The Islander" and "Excursion Around The Bay".
In February of 2004, with the help of great musician and friend, Greeley's Reel, along with Dave Fitzpatrick, formerly of The Fables, began work on their very first CD. Over the course of four months, many nights and weekends were spent recording to clue up any unfinished material for the release before the summer months. Hard work and dedication was shown by all.
They have seen a lot of air play on radio stations all across Newfoundland and Labrador, and even Eastern Canada.
With the success of their self-titled debut CD, Greeley's Reel has released a follow up album in October 2007 titled "The Valley Road Sessions" They decided to record songs included in their set list which have not been recorded in a long time, and are very proud of this project.
In November of 2004, Greeley's Reel performed at a high at The Music Industry Association Awards Gala with The Ennis Sisters. Since then, They have shared the stage with such names as Rex Goudie, Trooper, Honeymoon Suite,Shanneyganock, The Fables, The Masterless Men, The Irish Descendants, The Celtic Connection, The Government Rams, Dermot O'Reilly, Fergus O'Byrne, The Punters, Siochanna, The Mahones, and the list goes on. They have been very busy over the past couple of months playing numerous gigs throughout the Avalon, and especially O'Reillys Irish Pub on George Street in St. John's.
In July of 2005, they were delighted when they were asked to play the George Street Festival, one of the biggest shows held in the province all year long. They have also secured a regular gig at O'Reillys every five to six weeks.
It seems to be getting better for them every day that goes by!!
