BRAND NEW ALBUM BY RIELYO & MOLLY B AVAILABLE AT CDbaby!!!
In late 2002 South Bend, Indiana native, RIELY OCONNOR headed out to local open mics to try out his original songs as a solo performer. A year later he was driving to Nashville, Tennessee to record his first CD.
In Nashville Riely collaborated with long-time friend, Nashville recording artist/producer KAREN ANGELA MOORE. A first class recording space and top session musicians allowed Riely and Karen to craft a CD with a classic sound to highlight Riely’s songs.
“Workin’ On A Memory” was released in August of 2004 and Riely began booking music venues to present his “all-original” shows. His performances showcase a songbook known for powerful themes, insightful lyrics and “hum-able” melodies. Riely delivers the goods with emotion and an energetic stage presence. He often performs with an ensemble of backing musicians and frequently invites guest artists to his stage, but Riely is equally appreciated by audiences for his captivating solo acoustic shows.
.
In 2006 Riely recorded his second album in Nashville. Co-producing it with Karen Angela Moore, Riely collaborated with a cast of great musicians to present 12 more originals. “A Dream Or Two” was released in July 2006.
In May of 2006 Riely completed work on his Nashville-recorded single, "In The Meantime", which was released as a download single on his myspace page www.myspace.com/rielyoconnor.
Riely is a favorite on songwriter showcase stages, being a regular at Debi Champion's writers night in Nashville, TN and the Bloomington Songwriter Showcase in Bloomington, IN. He also hosts a popular semi-annual songwriter show, Riely OConnor's Songwriters Spotlight.
In 2007 Riely and partner MOLLY B. MOON decided to focus their individual musical pursuits into a duo. Since then Riely and Molly have performed throughout the Midwest and South and as far west as Arizona. Their first joint CD project will be released in October 2009.
