Lily Virginia + MAD4GROOVE + Marine Futin + Zak Gross Trio @ The Way Station

8pm- Lily Virginia
Genre: Indie folk pop
For fans of: Sharon Van Etten, Bon Iver, Black Keys, Fleetwood Mac

Her delicately powerful voice and carefully crafted lyrics hold a strength in their raw vulnerability. With influences as varied as Fleetwood Mac to the Pixies, PJ Harvey to Bon Iver, Lily Virginia brings together americana, rock and pop to create an experience where each song can exists on its own. Raised in the wild hippie west of Northern California, Lily has lived a few different lives. From studying music in Argentina and Brazil, to a 7 year stint as a ninja, to love, heartbreak, and magic, she's carefully folded these experiences into her knapsack of songstories. She unpacked her bag 4 years ago in Brooklyn and has called NYC home ever since.
