On Track Marketing Founder and Chief Strategist Sheila Donohue is joined by musician Jamie O’Reilly in this interview about their co-production, Souvenirs: Cabaret & Curios, an art event at Center Portion, On Track Marketing’s theater presentation space.

The Jamie O'Reilly Trio is a celebrated collaboration between three of Chicago's most beloved, veteran musicians: Jamie O'Reilly, vocalist; Michael Smith, guitarist; and Bob Weber, cellist.

Jamie began creating folk-cabarets with Michael Smith. Hello Dali: From the Sublime to the Surreal, their award-winning homage to songwriters and painters, The Gift of the Magi, Pasiones: Songs of the Spanish Civil War and Songs of the Kerry Madwoman, are among their CDs and shows. In 2002, Jamie and Michael began working with cellist Bob Weber (Elgin, Lake Forest and Northwest Indiana Symphonies), when they appeared together in Judith Svalander’s Gift of the Magi Americana ballet. They formed the Trio soon after. Called "mesmerizing" and "enchanting" by audiences, the Trio’s repertoire, sound and arrangements leave a lingering impression on all who have the pleasure of hearing them.
