Brendan O’Reilly’s songwriting gives a unique twist to genres from classic pop, rock, folk and blues to gypsy jazz and Irish trad. His solo show mixes these original compositions with his unique arrangements of favourite songs by artists such as Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Janis Ian, Billy Bragg, and many others. 

 Quotes: 

“Brendan has written some of the most beautiful music I have heard. His songs are heart-felt, edgy and lyrically astute. He is deserving of great success.”  

-Cindy Ryan (Solo artist and lead singer/songwriter of  multi ARIA-nominated band Stella One Eleven) 

“Brendan is one of the most naturally gifted musicians I know.”

– Adrian Cunningham (Jazz musician/bandleader, New York City) 

 “Brendan O’Reilly is one of those guitarist-singer-composers whose musical eclecticism, long experience and talent make him stand out from the crowd. It was a pleasure for me to work with him on several projects in the past in different repertoires and musical genres, an artist who deserves to be better known.”– Michel Bénébig, jazz organist, New Caledonia 

 “Brendan’s solo show, ‘Unheard Of’, last Sunday really held the Bald Rock crowd enthralled. Apart from the classic covers, his own songs were very melodic, had everyone dancing and tapping their toes, his stories were hilarious and the lyrics were great. We can’t wait to have him back again!” 

– Scotty Masher, publican, Bald Rock Hotel, Balmain. 

 “At Brendan’s (Adelaide Fringe) I enjoyed the sound of a solid musical foundation, it was a rich night of songs from Brendan’s life packed full of life. It was a lot of fun, thank you!!!”
