Welcome East Tennessee’s The Black Lillies to Manchester for Bonnaroo! These guys are just too much. Beautiful, rich layers of acoustic instruments and harmonic folk melodies touch things deep inside. Oh, I hope it’s a nice night-time show at The Other Tent.

” When the Lillies weren’t playing their 200-odd gigs during 2012, they were in Wild Chorus Studio in their hometown of Knoxville, Tenn., working with Scott Minor of Sparklehorse to craft a beautiful ode to restless spirits and rambling hearts. Rooted in the mud-rutted switchbacks of Appalachia, “Runaway Freeway Blues” is the sound of a band that’s becoming something of a phenomenon across the country.  http://www.theblacklillies.com/bio/”
