Concerts on the Lawn - Tripping Lily
Wednesday, July 13 at 7pm JBPL Memorial Garden
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.  Come enjoy the third concert of the season.  All shows made possible by the Dewey Classic Mini-Golf Tournament.  Go to http://trippinglily.com/ for more information about the band.  Concert is inside if weather is inclement.
