"Originally hailing from New Hampshire but taking home in Boston, singer songwriter Ricky Reilly is someone you should REALLY be looking out for.
Ricky has just released a new EP, with many of the songs streaming on his myspace. The production value of the songs is great... When it boils down to Ricky's style, imagine a voice similar to Jason Mraz mixed with a Death Cab For Cutie meets Iron & Wine songwriting style. The majority of his material is acoustic, or clean electric guitar with lots of sing along value (la la la's. Literally). Being a student at Berklee, Ricky knows his way around music and theory very well. This is evident in his songwriting style and skill of playing...Simply put, Ricky Reilly is an incredibly talented, multi-faceted musician. If you like the sounds of Jason Mraz, Iron & Wine, Death Cab, or Elliott Smith - you'll find enjoyment in Ricky Reilly. The songs "All Heads Up" and "These Days" have proven to be this writers favorites so far. But decide for yourself." -Derek Heidemann, examiner.com
