WEDNESDAY LOWDOWN: From ‘The Voice’ to The Playhouse
Soulful Sonoma, California songwriter Marty O’Reilly has given numerous revival-esque performances in various Humboldt venues over the past decade or so. But this trip up comes after a notable career milestone for our boy: O’Reilly recently enjoyed some success on NBC’s The Voice — watch his rasp win over none other than Snoop Dogg in the clip above. Quite the rub!
If he won you over too, you can catch Marty at the Arcata Playhouse on Wednesday night. Or you can scroll your Lowdown below for other signs of life.
