Let the wonderful songs of Ireland take you across the Atlantic, through the voice of Irish singer and songwriter Enda Reilly. Enjoy some well known Irish songs, the sound of the Irish language, learn about Irish culture, hear the bodhrán (Irish drum) and celtic guitar.

 

Enda explores and celebrates various aspects of Irish Culture in his programs telling stories of his youth in Ireland, his love of the Irish Language, Irish poetry, of the sean nós or old style of singing as well as his beautiful arrangements of classic Irish songs and of course his own unique original songs to give audiences a real immersive experience.  
From Dublin, Ireland and now living in Michigan, Enda Reilly’s shows delight, educate and entertain with fresh guitar and vocal arrangements of celtic folk and original songs. 

A winner of the prestigious IMRO Christie Hennessy Songwriting Competition and co-writer of "All Along The Wild Atlantic Way", which got to no.1 in Ireland, Enda is a seasoned performer and is enjoying bringing his unique flavor of Irish music and culture to the USA. Blending old songs with brand new original songs to give both a traditional and fresh authentic flavor to his programs Enda brings these gems to life with great skill on guitar, the Irish drum or Bodhrán (bowrawn) and live looping.
