Have You Heard: Lily & The Drum

Answered by: John Yacka

When did you start making music and why? Lily started singing at the age of 15. I started on the drums at 18 years old. Lily and I loved music from a very young age, realising it's great medicine for the soul.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Honest, raw and energetic

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Lily chooses Bob Dylan — Blood on the Tracks, showing his romantic side and great story telling ability. A wordsmith like no other. I choose Led Zeppelin II, it displays Zeppelin's great versatility.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? For Lily and I opening for Deep Purple and Status Quo recently was a buzz. I also had the pleasure of opening for BB King on two occasions.

Why should people come and see your band? We're a vocal, guitar, drums & harmonica duo promising a musical journey through contemporary blues, rock roots and soul music. 

When and where for your next gig? 27 Oct, The Gasoline Pony
