Low Lily to Perform in Colebrook

The GNWCA ( Great North Woods Committee for the Arts) will present “Low Lily” on Friday, February 9, at the Colebrook Country Club.

The string and vocal trio Low Lily (formerly Annalivia) explores the roots and branches of American folk music with traditional influences and modern inspiration that weaves together a unique brand of acoustic music. Liz Simmons (vocals and guitar), Flynn Cohen (vocals, guitar, and mandolin), and Lissa Schneckenburger (vocals and fiddle) are masterful players with deep relationships to traditional music styles ranging from bluegrass to Irish, Scottish, New England, and Old Time Appalachian sounds. When you combine this with stellar composition skills and inventive arrangements you get music that is rooted yet contemporary.
Low Lily will also be joined by bassist Corey DiMario who has been with the group “Crooked Still” since 2001. This double-bassist is one of the most sought-after accompanists in the acoustic music scene. He has performed at major festivals and concert venues across North America, Europe and Australia.

Tickets are $15 and available at Fiddleheads, 110 Main St., Colebrook, on-line at www.gnwca.org or at the door. Call 603-237-9302 or visit the GNWCA on Facebook.
