Marty O Reilly & The Old Soul Orchestra (photo: Ria Burman)

Marty O’Reilly soul-folk-rocked Sweetwater Music Hall last week. High-energy musicianship swept the night along with drum-jazz steady grooves, fiddle-fantastic solo shreds, stand-up bass-bumping beats, and guitar-smoking showdowns. Add to the mix Marty O’Reilly’s undeniably soulful, smooth vocals and the result is a band displaying a groovy kind of feeling.
