UUCB Concerts for a Cause presents the award-winning folk and roots band, Low Lily, at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick on Saturday, May 16 at 7:30 p.m. to raise money for local charities. With a vocal blend that has been dubbed “outstanding” and “meticulous” as well as world-class instrumental prowess, Low Lily has shared their signature sound with enthusiastic audiences throughout the US and beyond.
With the release of their new record ‘Angels in the Wreckage’ (produced by Dirk Powell), the Vermont-based American Roots band LOW LILY brings 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 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.
Low Lily’s core founding members are married couple Liz Simmons (vocals, guitar) and Flynn Cohen (vocals, mandolin, guitar), both of Brattleboro, Vermont. In May, Massachusetts-based Lily Sexton (vocals, fiddle, guitar) will be joining the group as their violinist, replacing Natalie Padilla who is leaving the band to have a baby. Her sweet, clear voice blends beautifully with Cohen’s and Simmons’ in close three-part harmony– a major feature of their trio sound.

As an added bonus, Elsie Gawler, the well-known musician from Midcoast Maine, will be a supporting act for the show. Elsie Gawler is a multi-instrumentalist and songster rooted in Maine's traditional folk music and culture. With her family, the Gawler Family Band, she has played throughout the Northeast sharing traditional fiddle tunes, songs, and original works since she was 4 years old. Her work has since evolved into her own original sound as heard in her debut solo album, Sweet As Honey, and she continues to craft new and old music rooted in the traditions of her upbring in the form a heartfelt song or rollicking fiddle tune with her current projects: Elsie & Ethan, Springtide, the Gawler Family Band, and The Gawler Sisters.
