The Weston AIC is delighted to welcome Lily Vakili and Joel Dorow (the Duo Project) of the Vakili band to our Reading Room Music Series!
Lily Vakili’s music has been described as “upp[ing] the emotional and political ante with … punchy tunes, delivered from a strong female perspective” (Relix Mag) and “an electric blend of Rock, Soul & Psychedelia…” (Under The Radar); and her voice as “compelling the way the first Patti Smith music gripped a listener, the Swans’ Jarboe enthralled or even Nico startled” (Americana Highways). Her most recent project is the solo EP Tannersville, has been called a “casual, pensive, yet intensely luxuriant showcase” by Americana Highways.
“Life beats you down, no doubt. But if you have something to say…” she pauses, then continues, “my songs speak to people who know – whether it’s about desire, love, loss or defiance – they’ve been there in their own uniquely profound, but universal way. That’s the mystery, and the hope.” To learn more, check out vakiliband.com
Joining Lily is long-time Vakili Band collaborator, harmonica player and fellow Iowan, Joel Dorow.
Get tickets ($25) now on the AIC website, or at the door if still available.
