Proudly independent since their formation, The Black Lillies were one of the first independent bands to play the Grand Ole Opry and have since returned doezens of times- sharing that stage with big-budget bands and major-label mainstreamers. They've chased down success on their terms, ignoring the trends of Nashville and focusing on a sound that, as Vanity Fair notes, "continues to cross generations and musical genres- country, folk, blues, and... a touch of the Dead, for good measure." With a reimagined lineup, new songs and the same dedication to touring, the Lillies continue to sing their roots deep into the Americana landscape.
