The Black Lillies at Sam's Burger Joint, Sunday Nov. 3

'Born in the rumbling cab of a stone truck and aged in the oak of Tennessee's smoky night haunts, The Black Lillies have quickly risen to the forefront of the Americana scene. Founded by multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Cruz Contreras (co-founder of Robinella and the CCstringband), The Black Lillies have created their own unique brand of country, roots, rock and blues via Appalachia. The group, formed in 2008, also includes electric guitar and pedal steel whiz Tom Pryor and drummer Jamie Cook, both formerly of the everybodyfields, bassist Robert Richards, and vocalist Trisha Gene Brady.

In April 2009, The Black Lillies released Whiskey Angel, their debut recording, which was recorded live in Cruz's living room. The album received rave reviews and appeared on multiple "Best of 2009รข€³ lists across the country, winning the Independent Music Award for Best Album, Americana. The band's current album, 100 Miles of Wreckage, has been nominated for multiple awards and spent more than five months on the Americana radio Top 40 charts - four of them in the top 20 - once again proving that a band with this much spirit can break through traditional industry boundaries to achieve success without the constraints of a major label.'
