Back in May, Memphis-born alt country folk rocker Megan Reilly previewed several songs from her upcoming album at twi-ny’s tenth anniversary party at Fontana’s. Joined by guitarist James Mastro, the Jersey girl played a haunting, heartfelt set, her sparkling new material filled with evocative love and longing. This week she was excited to tell us that she was joined in the studio by the legendary Lenny Kaye, who contributed guitar to two tracks. Reilly, a mesmerizing live performer who gets lost in her powerful songs, will be at Zebulon on October 16 at 9:00 for a free show with a truly great band, consisting of Mastro (the Bongos, the Health & Happiness Show, Ian Hunter’s Rant Band), drummer extraordinaire Steve Goulding (the Mekons, Garland Jeffreys, the Waco Brothers), and bassist supreme Tony Maimone (Pere Ubu, They Might Be Giants). Brooklyn folkie P.G. Six is also on the bill. For our recent twi-ny talk with Reilly and Mastro, click here.
