About Us
|
Lily and the Drum is a "Must See" Bluesy Roots, Rock & Soul duo featuring vocalist, guitarist Lily and John on percussion, harmonica & backing vocals.
Their live sound is rich and full and this guitar and drums duo are often mistaken for a band but there are no computers or backing tracks working in the background, just real music produced by musicians who care. They have been described as “Honest, raw and energetic” and “A guitar and drum duo with an exciting rich melodic sound”. |

What We Bring
|
Following the success of their debut Independent Release “Nobody Just Like Me” and then the following albums “Welcome Change” and “Buried in Blue” the duo has constantly toured throughout Australia.
Performing countless shows, including numerous Festivals (eg Kingston Music Festival Vic, Kiama Jazz and Blues NSW, Yeppoon Village Festival Qld, Adelaide Guitar Festival, Barossa Blues SA) and opening for high profile artists such as The Black Sorrows, Mental As Anything and Tex Perkins along with fantastic radio support for their music has netted the duo a strong, loyal following and solid reputation. Their recorded performances, including their recent release “This Is Right Now”, have also captured the attention of the radio community resulting in all Four Albums making the Top 25 on the Australian Blues and Roots National Airplay Chart. |

"Lily’s vocal style is bold and brassy. Her voice has a control, power and clarity other female singer’s wish they had.
