Episode 36: Marty O'Reilly and the Old Soul Orchestra

Formed in Santa Cruz, California in 2012, Marty O'Reilly and the Old Soul Orchestra throw a resonator guitar (O'Reilly), a double bass (Jeff Kissel), and a dirty fiddle (Chris Lynch) into a blender, and churn out a haunting, bluesy, and driving musical sound that is at once uniquely theirs, and also reminiscent of some of the delta greats with a generous spattering of Tom Waits.  Listen in as the trio discuss their respective beginnings in music, how they work together to create songs, and the importance of audience connection.  They talk about farting, too.  www.martyoreilly.com
