After a wonderfully received performance here in 2005 we promised to bring back the singer-songwriting duo Reilly and Maloney, and we always keep our promises.
From the mid-1970s through the late 1980s, the voices-and-guitars duo of Ginny Reilly and David Maloney made delightful harmonies together, and they're back together after a decade-plus pursuing their solo careers.
After a wonderfully received performance here in 2005 we promised to bring back the singer-songwriting duo Reilly and Maloney, and we always keep our promises.
From the mid-1970s through the late 1980s, the voices-and-guitars duo of Ginny Reilly and David Maloney made delightful harmonies together, and they're back together after a decade-plus pursuing their solo careers. Old fans will be happy to hear that they've lost none of their vocal magic. Reilly still has one of the sweetest voices in folk music, an ethereal soprano that dances lightly around Maloney's grittier baritone, and the contrast in their voices and their unique sense of harmony makes for some wonderful duets. The largely optimistic-themed and always-thoughtful set list combines a few originals, like Maloney's pensive "Alone in Silence," with a wide range of covers of writers ranging from Tom Paxton and John Prine to Bruce Springsteen and Rogers & Hart. This concert is a welcome reunion of two distinctive performers.
