John Reilly Live in the Music Room at The Phil with Lewis Nitikman

Singer-Songwriter John Reilly is delighted to be returning to the Music Room at the Philharmonic Hall in his hometown of Liverpool. You may have seen him, with Canadian pianist and composer Lewis Nitikman, celebrating the songs of Sir Elton John and Billy Joel, but this time, he will be playing songs he has written himself, or co-written with Lewis, and some written with his band Boy on a Dolphin. In between, they will play a mixture of covers from a diverse range of artists, including Fleetwood Mac, Cher, Randy Newman, Don Henley, Simply Red, Art Garfunkel and even Andrea Bocelli!!
This will be a uniquely intimate gig created by John Reilly’s intensely profound lyrics and stunning vocals enhanced by the incredible piano skills of Lewis Nitikman. Expect a very special evening of moving and inspirational music which leaves the audience entranced and shouting for more!!
REVIEW FROM CRICKLADE:
About last night……John Reilly and Lewis Nitikman anointed the good souls of Cricklade with their songs of love and grace. Such beautiful musicians, power punch melodies and lyrics that would make Taupin and Joel weep. Yes, I loved it, hard to distinguish the cover song from their crafted originals. Catch them if you can in a venue near you.
