Ryan O'Reilly and Toronto's Jadea Kelly have been writing, performing, and touring together for over a decade. Following recent recording sessions in Los Angeles and European and cross-Canada tours with multi-instrumentalist Tali Trow, the trio now brings their sound to London for Jadea's debut performance in the city. Expect a unique blend of British and Irish alt-folk fused with Canadian Americana-country songwriting.
Ryan O'Reilly, an English-Irish songwriter known for his poetic, emotionally charged songs, has spent the past decade touring Europe and North America, building a dedicated fanbase through word-of-mouth and compelling live shows. His music, featured US Netflix shows, and ITV's McDonald & Dodds and After the Flood, blends folk, indie, and literary influences, with writing credits alongside London indie favourites Flyte, Germany's Amistat, and Prague's Anna Vaverková. His latest album Other Plans explores connection, solitude, and modern life with quiet power.
'Ryan O'Reilly is the perfect antidote to our era of production-line pop, to see him live is to be reminded of what music is all about: people, passion and poetry' London Evening Standard
Jadea Kelly, hailed by CBC as "a shining jewel in the crown of Canadian songwriters," brings a cinematic, heartfelt edge to contemporary Canadian-country-folk. Her latest release Roses earned millions of streams and 'Single of the Year' at the Oshawa Music Awards, while her voice has featured in acclaimed film and TV projects. Fans of Alternative Folk music and artists such as Kathleen Edwards and Lindi Ortega will immediately fall in love with Jadea Kelly.
