LOW LILY
With a vocal and instrumental blend that has been dubbed “outstanding” and “meticulous”, the members of Low Lily (Liz Simmons, Flynn Cohen, and newest member Lily Sexton) come together to create a signature sound that has captured audiences throughout the US, UK, and Canada.
Low Lily is the colloquial name for the Trout Lily, a wildflower that grows in the northeast and in regions further afield. Like its namesake, Low Lily the band has been blooming across the musical landscape since 2015- throughout the northeast and beyond. Liz Simmons (guitar, banjo & vocals), Flynn Cohen (guitar, mandolin & vocals), and Lily Sexton (fiddle & vocals) blend their considerable individual talents into a delightful stylistic bouquet of energetic fiddle music, introspective folk, bluegrass, and Americana. The trio has deep roots in the fiddle tune and singing traditions of North America and the Celtic diaspora.
Low Lily’s recordings have received noteworthy attention with two #1 songs on international folk radio, and two Independent Music Award wins. Their original song "Hope Lingers On" (written by former band member Lissa Schneckenburger), has been sung by choirs around the world as an anthem for peace and justice.
