Reilly Downes is a torchbearer of modern heartbreak, blending rustbelt grit with cosmic country soul. Hailing from Texas and now rooted in the Chicago music scene, she’s made a name for herself with her “small, but mighty” voice and songs that cut to the bone. Downes has shared the stage with artists like Maggie Rose, Kaitlin Butts, and Jaime Wyatt, and has been featured in Rollingstone and mentioned in NPR’s World Cafe.
