Old Riley & The Water - BITING THROUGH - RELEASE DATE: NOVEMBER 1, 2018New Orleans musician Sean Riley can make record-worthy music anywhere he goes; in the clubs,
in his rehearsal space, in the studio and in his living room to be exact. As leader of Old Riley & The Water, the singer/songwriter has collaborated with his local bandmates as well as friends from out of town to create his debut EP record Biting Through. Recorded at the band’s rehearsal space as well as in the main living space of his Creole Cottage in uptown New Orleans, this collection of Blues songs speaks to love, loss and missteps.
with a fluid cast of excellent New Orleans musicians as well as
Joshua Cook on guitar and backup vocals, who also produced the
record. Their debut CD is available on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes,
Amazon, YouTube, Bandcamp, and Google Play. He attributes his
love for the Crescent City for providing him with the motivation to
create this project. Music, bookings and a calendar of performances
can also be found at oldrileyandthewater.com. “The musicians and
people of New Orleans are a major inspiration for me every day,”
says Riley.
The songs are all originals with the exception of a Howlin Wolf
and Willie Dixon number whose influence of Delta Blues is layered
throughout. Riley also mixes in Rock and Soul elements particularly
