Marty O’Reilly Trio

Doors open at 6:30//Show at 7 PM

 “A culmination of blues, folk, and soul inflections that altogether develop a sound that’s fresh and cosmic.” 

Pop Matters 

Marty O’Reilly comes back to the Arcata Playhouse, this time with his band!

Marty O’Reilly crafts timeless music that’s raw, soulful, and deeply rooted in Americana. Inspired by legends like Woody Guthrie, Howlin’ Wolf, and Sister Rosetta Thorpe, his sound captivates and connects. Known for his cathartic live performances—ranging from soft and haunting to wild and electric—Marty’s songs delve into love, loss, and connection. Over years of relentless touring, he’s built a dedicated following, performing with artists like Shakey Graves and at festivals like Bottlerock. Honest and real, Marty’s music stays with you long after you hear it.
