Start with excellently matched vocals, add some world-class playing, sprinkle with raised-off-grid Americana and you get Low Lily. Flynn’s deft flatpicking on guitar and mandolin and Lissa’s virtuosic fiddle-playing aregrounded by Liz’s percussive rhythm guitar playing, the sounds of which combine joyously in this stunning ensemble.
With a vocal blend that has been dubbed “outstanding” and “meticulous,” Low Lily’s refreshing, cohesive sound comes naturally for musicians whose lives have been entwined on the road and onstage for almost two decades. Setting down roots in Brattleboro, Vermont, the band has crafted a signature sound they have shared with enthusiastic audiences throughout North America and Europe, garnering two #1 songs on international folk radio, two New England Music Award nominations, and two Independent Music Award wins, namely Best Bluegrass Song and the Vox Pop Award (fan favorite).
Chosen as the coveted Falcon Ridge Folk Festival’s "Most Wanted Band” of 2016 (and then invited back to headline in 2019), Low Lily plays acoustic music that is deeply rooted in tradition yet sounds refreshinglycontemporary. With their first full-album release, “10,000 Days Like These” (March 2018), Low Lily shares an intimate, no-tricks-involved, collection of songs that showcases their talents and proves them to be a formidable, ready-for-prime-time act. A first album this strong doesn’t come from newbies–all the members have performed with numerous well-known names in folk and traditional music. Flynn has toured with Ruth Moody, John Whelan, Cathie Ryan and Aoife Clancy. Liz has toured with Tom Chapin, Livingston Taylor, Melanie, and Long Time Courting. Lissa has toured as a solo act as well as with Solas and Childsplay. Corey DiMario (of Crooked Still andthe Sweetback Sisters) often joins the core trio on double bass.
