Funnyman actor John C. Reilly ("Step Siblings," "Talladega Nights," "Boogie Nights") isn't any stranger towards the microphone, but lately it appears he's focusing just as much on singing tunes as cracking jokes.Last November, Reilly launched two singles on Jack White's Third Guy Records label with Lavender Diamond's Becky Stark and folk singer Tom Brosseau (Whitened handled drums and production for).Reilly and and Stark covered country classics byRay Cost ("I'm going to be There") and "I am Planning,Inch initially sang by Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner, with Brosseau, Reilly covered the Delmore Brothers' "Gonna Lay Lower My Old Guitar" and "Lonesome Yodel Blues #2".So that as anybody who saw Reilly in Johnny Cash biopic parody"Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story"ought to know, he although have a tune, but is a little of the new bands aficionado. On Tuesday, February. 28, Reilly, Stark and Brosseau will require their grand ole jam towards the Bootleg Theater in Echo Park, where Reilly is at the time of the one-guy show known as"Buddha" (Reillyis pointing the operate on weekends until March 4). Unlike most rock shows in the Bootleg Theater within the barroom, John C. Reilly and Friends' musical performance come in the theater space with standard seating and cabaret style chairs and tables.Not sure yet on whether Reilly intends to take his act on the highway.
