Hard To Please

The Black Lillies are a band for the ages: not slick, commercialised music, but rich, soulful tunes performed with as much heart as technical virtuosity. This commitment to authenticity has earned them accolades from outlets as diverse as NPR, CMT, American Songwriter, Vanity Fair, Wall Street Journal, and Rolling Stone, who named the band one of the “10 Artists You Need to Know.” The Black Lillies have won three Independent Music Awards, played the Grand Ole Opry more than any other independent band (more than 35 times, to date), and enthralled audiences at festivals ranging from Bonnaroo, SXSW, High Sierra, and Rochester International Jazz Fest to CMA FanFair, MerleFest and Stagecoach. The music is breakneck, brazen and beautiful; lush Laurel Canyon folk, spirited Muscle Shoals soul, the honky-tonk heartache of classic country, winding jams and flat-out rock’n’roll ... full of the spirit of the open road, rolling down the highway and not about to stop anytime soon! “one of roots music’s most talented outfits.” - american songwriter magazine
