Sandy Jones, hammered dulcimer player, Michigan

I hear Lucille’s heart in her music.

Ben Buckles, hammered dulcimer player, Kansas

In addition to being talented, Lucille is also personable…the whole audience was drawn in to her performance.

I have always believed in giving public credit to musicians whose talent and originality awe and inspire me, and one of the best is LUCILLE REILLY. She’s a master at both hammered dulcimer and autoharp. I love her magnificent technique, feeling for the music, and clever (often humorous) improvisations on well-known music.

Lois Hornbostel, North Carolina

Music drips from her fingers. Lucille Reilly is music.

Dr. John Williams, friend and music aficionado, Alabama

Tony Hessling, hammered dulcimer player, Indiana

Lucille performs with a skill and grace not usually heard (or seen)…a committed performer/teacher who strives for excellence, bringing wit and personality to her performances…delightful to listen to and a pleasure to watch.

June Van Thoen, Director, Music at Morristown (NJ) United Methodist Church
