About Enda
Enda Reilly is a Dublin-born singer-songwriter now based in Michigan. His music draws on Ireland's songs, stories, language and landscape — from original songs inspired by folklore and history to traditional ballads and his musical settings of W.B. Yeats.
A fluent Irish speaker and award-winning songwriter, Enda performs at Irish festivals, theatres, libraries and cultural venues in the United States and Ireland. His natural, conversational shows give audiences just enough of the story behind the music to draw them inside the song.
“The songwriting and storytelling in your shows marries the best of traditional Irish music and poetry with a modern singer songwriter that all generations can enjoy and relate to. ” - Elizabeth Burke
— Buffalo Irish Festival
