The Black Lillies offer rich, rootsy tunes performed with as much heart as technical virtuosity. This commitment to authenticity has earned them accolades from outlets as diverse as Rolling Stone, which calls them one of “the most buzzworthy new acts in country and Americana,” and the Wall Street Journal, which praised their “rootsy flair … a winsome hybrid traditional enough to appeal to an Opry crowd and expansive enough to ensnare a broader audience." The Black Lillies have enthralled audiences at festivals ranging from Bonnaroo and South by Southwest to CMA Fan Fair and Stagecoach, won two Independent Music Awards, and has played the Grand Ole Opry more than any other independent band. The music, featuring former Robinella & the CC Stringband multi-instrumentalist Cruz Contreras, is breakneck, brazen and beautiful; gentle Laurel Canyon folk, sultry Muscle Shoals soul, the honky-tonk heartache of classic country, winding jams and flat-out rock’n’roll … but full of the spirit of the open road, heading down the highway and not about to stop anytime soon!
