The Sweet Lillies

About

The Sweet Lillies' music is heartfelt and collaborative. Those defining traits are given life by the quartet of musicians Those defining traits are given life by the quartet of musicians who make up the Lillies, Julie Gussaroff, Becca Bisque, JJ Murphy and Jones Maynard. Together they have combined their individual strengths to deliver powerful narratives of life in song. With their lineup of electric guitar, viola/violin, upright and electric bass, drums/percussion and ethereal vocal harmonies that float like a dream, the Sweet Lillies' music has a hard hitting original flavor with a forward-looking eye. 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.
