Lava Flow Live | The Sweet Lillies Concert

The Sweet Lillies have incorporated all of their cumulative life-experiences into their music, song-writing, and artistry, crafting an uncommonly-beautiful style they have dubbed “Americana Roots Pop Fusion” - a nod to the band’s all encompassing musical tastes and willingness to experiment with genres ranging from folk to jazz, blues, southern rock and rock all the way to hip-hop and pop music. As Gussaroff explains, “some musicians learn from teachers, some learn from family members, and some are self taught. In the Lillies' all of these skill sets are valuable, relevant, and appreciated.”

The Lillies' sound is rooted in original song writing. Julie Gussaroff and Becca Bisque, the band's founders and primary song writers, are creative musicians who enjoy going out on a limb to bring to life new sounds and intrepid arrangements incorporating many different styles, cultures and ideas into their writing. The band's ethos is built upon its members' collaborative ideals; the Lillies are always ready to share a stage or develop a project with any musicians who share the same “no-holds” barred creative approach.

This has made each one of their inventive energetic live-shows a wholly unique event as setlists are changed on the fly, songs are given new life and shape and guests are always welcome to join in the creative explosion.

Those on-stage partnerships create a space for incorporating instruments, arrangements and styles that are not necessarily typical of any genre but that help create a rich, compelling sound that defies easy categorization.

Over the years they have been joined onstage by a number of legendary performers including Sam Bush, George Porter Jr., Peter Rowan, Sally Van Meter, Andy Hall (Infamous Stringdusters,) Kyle Hollingsworth and Jason Hahn (The String Cheese Incident,) Jennifer Hartswick and Natalie Cressman (Trey Anastasio Band,) DJ Logic, Chali2Na (Jurassic 5,) Chris Jacobs, Daniel Donato, Mike Dillon (Punkadelick,) Sammi Garett (Cool Cool Cool,) and many others. Andy Thorn (Leftover Salmon,) who has sat in on many of those live adventures, says, “It’s always a joy to play with the Sweet Lillies. Over the years, I’ve seen them evolve from a folk-and-bluegrass group into a genre-bending powerhouse. Today, at a Lillies show, you’ll hear everything from their beautiful, soulful originals, to creative reinventions of your favorite 90’s hip-hop tracks. They’re always ready to have fun - on stage and off - without losing an ounce of their professionalism.”
