Award-winning folk and roots band Low Lily will once again celebrate the Winter Solstice with a concert of beautiful wintry, seasonal songs and high octane fiddle tunes at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 22, at One Longfellow Square, 181 State St. in Portland.
Elsie Gawler and Ethan Tischler will open the show.
The show will feature original songs which capture the beauty coziness, and challenges of the darkest time of year. These songs are interspersed with energetic original instrumentals on fiddle, mandolin and guitar– guaranteed to warm the audience from the inside out.
With the release of their new record “Angels in the Wreckage,” Low Lily brought their infectious sound to a new level. With the energy of fiddle music, the introspective quality of contemporary folk, the precision of bluegrass, and the drive of Americana, the members of Low Lily (Liz Simmons, Flynn Cohen, and Natalie Padilla) combine their individual talents into one stunning soundscape.
Low Lily has shared their signature sound with enthusiastic audiences throughout North America and the UK, garnering two #1 songs on international folk radio and two Independent Music Award wins. In 2018, the band released a full-length album with 2X award-winning title track “10,000 Days Like These,” and their original song “Hope Lingers On,” which has been sung by choirs around the world as an anthem for peace and justice.
Gawler and Tischler are New England songsters and tunesmiths who weave together a musical world of past, present, and hopeful future. They delight in learning and sharing the rich musical traditions of New England, Quebec, their Celtic influencers, and Scandinavia, as well as crafting their own tunes and songs to carry these traditions forward. Their music ranges from poingnet original songs that come straight from the heart to rollicking fiddle tunes and sea shanties and everything in between. With harmonies, banjo, guitar, fiddle, cello, smiles, and anecdotes, they craft a rich musical experience that fills the hearts of audiences across the North East and beyond.
Tickets cost $25 in advance or $35 at the door.
