An Evening with Reilly & Maloney

Through the 1970s and ’80s there was no hotter act around Seattle than Ginny Reilly and David Maloney, two singer/songwriters whose rich harmonies and tireless performance schedule cultivated legions of fans throughout the region.  When the pair called it quits after 20 years and eight albums in 1990, their farewell concert at the 5th Avenue Theater sold out so quickly that a second night had to be added.

 

After a 10-year hiatus, Reilly and Maloney reunited in 2000 to discover that their audience was still with them.  In performances up and down the West Coast fans clamored for old favorites as well as new material, and additional recordings soon found their way to the CD table.  (David's 2011 solo effort, “One Day More,” even received a preliminary Grammy nomination!)
