Ike and Shane Reilly At White Lilac

Ike Reilly is a punk-poet-troubadour and the leader of The Ike Reilly Assassination. The former doorman and gravedigger from Libertyville, Illinois is also the host of Ike Reilly’s Lies & Apologies on SiriusXM’s Channel 28, The Spectrum and the subject of the award-winning documentary Don’t Turn Your Back On Friday Night (streaming everywhere).

Since his major label debut Salesmen and Racists, Reilly has been creating rebellious, poetic, and cinematic rock ’n’ roll blending punk, folk, country, and blues. His 10th studio album, Blind And Surrounded, comes out June 12, 2026.

He’s written songs for and collaborated with Tom Morello, Shooter Jennings, Johnny Hickman, and David Lowery of Cracker and more. Stephen King said, “Ike Reilly is the Rock God not enough people have heard of.” The New York Times praised him as “a kind of natural resource mined from the bedrock of music,” and The Washington Post called The Ike Reilly Assassination one of the best live bands in America.

Shane Reilly has been touring and recording with Ike Reilly and The Ike Reilly Assassination since 2021. His organic assimilation into the family business began during the pandemic of 2020 with The Ike Reilly Family Q-Hour—a regular internet series featuring Ike’s songs (and assorted covers) performed by Shane, his father, and his brothers Kevin and Mickey.

As the series grew, Shane began contributing his own songs—many of which are now mainstays in The Ike Reilly Assassination’s live shows. Studio recordings of Shane’s songs will debut on Blind And Surrounded (out June 12, 2026).

Shane and Ike Reilly often tour as a duo, delivering a powerful and intimate extension of the band’s unmistakable sound.
