Ginny Reilly and David Maloney are at it again, coming together to deliver delightful harmonies to old fans and new. One of the most endearing duos ever to grace the West Coast folk scene, Reilly & Maloney played to packed houses throughout the 1970s and 80s. The pair found success with their wonderful blend of voices, their great taste in other songwriters’ material, and their own solid originals. Ginny “still has one of the sweetest voices in folk music,” says the folk and world music website Dirty Linen, “an ethereal soprano that dances lightly around David’s grittier baritone, and the contrast in their voices and their unique sense of harmony makes for some wonderful duets.” They sing everything from Springsteen to Rogers & Hart, and they do it with their own light and graceful touch. Ginny has a new solo album called The Blues of Bessie Smith and David has a new solo album called Davy Joe Malone . . . A Little Homespun Wobble.

Ginny grew up outside Chicago and came to the Bay Area in 1968. David arrived from upstate New York in 1969 and met Ginny in a San Francisco folk club called The Drinking Gourd. Soon they were playing for enthusiastic audiences, and eventually they recorded five albums together before their musical paths diverged. These days, Ginny drops down from the Seattle area once in a while to make music with David here by the bay, a wonderful treat for those lucky enough to be in hearing range.
