Riley & Riley are a Canadian-based blues duo consisting of Shaun Riley (lead vocals /guitar) and Wayne Riley (harmonica/vocals).
Shaun and Wayne have performed in Memphis Tennessee as a result of being the regional winners of the International Blues Competition.
Combined, Riley & Riley have produced four independent CD's filled with original blues music. Drawing inspiration from north Mississippi hills country blues and the best of Chicago blues, Riley & Riley write original songs with a strong emphasis on a steady, driving rhythm. Their performances display the prominent use of slide guitar, tunes built from cool guitar riffs, unconventional song structures, strong harmonies and an emphasis on the “groove.”
Riley & Riley have developed their own unique, emotionally explosive, sound experience. There is a grittiness to their blues that is refreshing. It is raw and spell binding.
