The Black Lillies are a band for the ages, not the slick, soulless music that seems to get most of the radio airplay, but rich, rootsy tunes performed with as much heart as technical virtuosity. This commitment to authenticityhas earned them accolades from outlets as diverse as Rolling Stone Magazine, who calls them one of the most buzzworthy new acts in country and Americana, and the Wall Street Journal, who praised their rootsy flair... a winsome hybrid traditional enough to appeal to an Opry crowd and expansive enough to ensnare a broader audience. They ve enthralled audiences at festivals ranging from Bonnaroo and SXSW to CMA Fan Fair and Stagecoach, won two Independent Music Awards, and played the Grand Ole Opry more than any other independent band. The music is breakneck, brazen and beautiful; gentle Laurel Canyon folk, 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!
