[ATTENDED: October 10, 2018] Lorkin O’Reilly
Lorkin O’Reilly is a Scottish musician who has been living in upstate New York for the past while. He opened for Gruff Rhys.
Other than the fact that he worked construction a bit (and wrote a song about his boss), I don’t know much more about him.
However, because Philadelphia loves to start construction projects before adequately preparing the drivers for said projects, I wound up being a little late to the show. I don’t think I missed much from Lorkin (maybe a song and a half?) and what I heard was excellent.
Lorkin is a wonderful guitar player. He has an excellent fingerpicking style and really creative use of capos and tuning. (more…)
