LILY LYONS + ESSY SPARROW

Folklore Sessions Presents; Lily Lyons+ Essy Sparrow22nd July | £13advThe Folklore Rooms | 18+For Lily Lyons, music feels like hope - or perhaps, possibility. Growing up split between London and Somerset, making weekly eight hour drives across the country between the base she knew with her mother and the faraway town her father had left for, she remembers the comfort of the car stereo on the open road. As she grew older, struggling to fully realise herself in the world and to pick apart the often knotty and complicated relationships that had formed around her, music was the thing that offered a window to an alternative.Tour support to Ben Howard, Roo Panes, Willy Mason and recently back from an European tour with Charlie Cunningham. Already tipped by the Sunday Times as a Breaking Artist: "Ensnaring combination of ethereal melodies, precise enunciation and haunting up close vocals. For fans of Laura Marling, Kings of Convenience and early Joni Mitchell". Sunday Times Lily Lyons has signed to Fiction Records (home of The Big Moon, Kae Tempest, The Cure)
