Providence – Stone Soup Coffeehouse presents Low Lily at The Music Mansion on Saturday, October 30th. The show starts at 7pm.
MUSIC MANSION
New England-based string and vocal trio Low Lily explores the roots of American folk music with traditional influences and modern inspiration. The members of the trio — Liz Simmons, Flynn Cohen and Lissa Schneckenburger — have deep relationships to traditional music styles, ranging from bluegrass to Irish, Scottish, English, New England, and old-time Appalachian sounds. Their music is rooted, yet contemporary.
MUSIC MANSION
“We first saw Low Lily at the New Bedford Folk Festival and I thought we should have them at Stone Soup,” says Barbara Wahlberg, booking coordinator for Stone Soup Coffeehouse. “I am so happy that they said yes. We really missed out on them coming in the 2020 season and we are excited to welcome this wonderful trio to the Music Mansion this Fall.”

ABOUT LOW LILY
With a vocal blend that has been dubbed outstanding and meticulous, Low Lilys cohesive sound comes naturally for musicians whose lives have been entwined on the road and onstage for almost two decades. Low Lily is Liz Simmons (vocals, guitar) Flynn Cohen (vocals, guitar, mandolin), and Lissa Schneckenburger (vocals, fiddle). Setting down roots in Brattleboro, Vermont, the band has crafted a signature sound which they have shared with enthusiastic audiences throughout North America and the UK, garnering two #1 songs on international folk radio and two New England Music Award nominations.
Chosen as Falcon Ridge Folk Festivals Most Wanted Band of 2016, Low Lily plays acoustic music that is deeply rooted in tradition yet sounds refreshingly contemporary. With their first full-album release 10,000 Days Like These (March 2018, following their 2015 self-titled EP release), Low Lily shares an intimate, no-tricks-involved, collection of songs that showcases their talents and proves them to be a formidable, ready-for-prime-time act. A first album this strong doesn’t come from newbies; all the members have performed with numerous well-known names in folk and traditional music.
ABOUT STONE SOUP COFFEEHOUSE
Stone Soup Coffeehouse is one of the oldest coffeehouse venues in New England, presenting live music on Saturday nights. It started as a house concert series in 1980. Rhode Island musicians and songwriters were inspired by Pete Seeger to share their music with each other and a wider audience. It became the non-profit organization – Stone Soup Folk Arts Foundation – some years later.
Today, Stone Soup Coffeehouse presents local, regional, and international artists in a variety of music traditions. Past performers include Greg Brown, Patty Larkin, Ellis Paul, and Catie Curtis. Stone Soup has a history of recognizing talent and is proud to have featured many artists, such as, Dar Williams, Ingrid Michaelson, The Low Anthem, and Erin McKeown, many of whom have since become well known internationally.
Stone Soup is a member of the Boston Area Coffeehouse Association and supports the work of the Rhode Island Songwriters Association (RISA) and The Red Bandana Fund.
