Chatham House Concerts Presents Tripping Lily

Fellow Music Lovers:

We are very excited to announce that Tripping Lily will be playing a house concert at our home on Saturday, September 25, 2010. You only have to hear them once to become fans of Tripping Lily. This young quartet might be described as a string band with pop music sensibilities, or perhaps a cutting edge vocal quartet with acoustic instruments. The Boston Globe called the band"….a genre unto itself." Tripping Lily went to number one for several weeks on Boston's Folk Station WUMB.

With Demetrius Becrelis (guitar/vocals/ukulele), brother Alex Becrelis (mandolin/vocals), Monica Rizzio (fiddle/vocals/ukulele), and Laird Boles (stringed bass), Tripping Lily blends a unique sound of traditional and contemporary genres. A group of musicians who draw their inspiration from within, Tripping Lily has deeply explored songwriting with their personal and passionate work. Touted as fresh, energetic, and alive, Tripping Lily's pop-rock groundwork is cross-fertilized with folk music and cutting edge vocal harmonies. The band's unique ability to absorb traditional music while speaking to the here and now is proof of their versatility as contemporary musicians.

The house concert begins promptly at 7:00. Demetrius and Monica will be hosting a ukulele workshop from 4:00 to 5:15. A light dinner will be provided to those who attend the workshop.

A poster for the house concert is attached below. We have also posted the information on Facebook at:
