More About Joe Reilly
Joe Reilly is a singer, songwriter, social worker, Dharma teacher, and educator who writes songs from his heart. Joe’s songs are playful, clever, engaging, joyful, and always have something meaningful to say. The core of his message is an invitation to heal our relationships with ourselves, with each other, and with the earth. Joe uses his music to bring people together and build community across lines of race, class, gender, ethnicity, religion, age, and nationality.
Joe is Italian, Irish, and Native American (Cherokee/Choctaw) and was raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan in a creative household by musical parents who encouraged him to find his own voice. Joe loves to inspire others to do the same and to water seeds of compassion, joy, wisdom, and peace in our collective consciousness through the sharing of his music.
Joe has recorded nine albums of his music, including four children’s albums, Children of the Earth (2007), Let’s Go Outside (2011), The Circle (Earthwork Music, 2016), and Seeds (Earthwork Music, 2023).
