Those defining traits are given life by the quartet of musicians who make up the Lillies, Julie Gussaroff, Becca Bisque, JJ Murphy and Jones Maynard. Together they have combined their individual strengths to deliver powerful narratives of life in song.  With their lineup of electric guitar, viola/violin, upright and electric bass, drums/percussion and ethereal vocal harmonies that float like a dream, the Sweet Lillies' music has a hard hitting original flavor with a forward-looking eye.  The Sweet Lillies have incorporated all of their cumulative life-experiences into their music, song-writing, and artistry, crafting an uncommonly-beautiful style they have dubbed “Americana Roots Pop Fusion” - a nod to the band’s all encompassing musical tastes and willingness to experiment with genres ranging from folk to jazz, blues, southern rock and rock all the way to hip-hop and pop music. As Gussaroff explains, “some musicians learn from teachers, some learn from family members, and some are self taught.  In the Lillies' all of these skill sets are valuable, relevant, and appreciated.” The Lillies' sound is rooted in original song writing. Julie Gussaroff and Becca Bisque, the band's founders and primary song writers, are creative musicians who enjoy going out on a limb to bring to life new sounds and intrepid arrangements incorporating many different styles, cultures and ideas into their writing. The band's ethos is built upon its members' collaborative ideals; the Lillies are always ready to share a stage or develop a project with any musicians who share the same “no-holds” barred creative approach.  This has made each one of their inventive energetic live-shows a wholly unique event as setlists are changed on the fly, songs are given new life and shape and guests are always welcome to join in the creative explosion.  Those on-stage partnerships create a space for incorporating instruments, arrangements and styles that are not necessarily typical of any genre but that help create a rich, compelling sound that defies easy categorization.  Over the years they have been joined onstage by a number of legendary performers including Sam Bush, George Porter Jr., Peter Rowan, Sally Van Meter, Andy Hall (Infamous Stringdusters,) Kyle Hollingsworth and Jason Hahn (The String Cheese Incident,) Jennifer Hartswick and Natalie Cressman (Trey Anastasio Band,) DJ Logic, Chali2Na (Jurassic 5,) Chris Jacobs, Daniel Donato, Mike Dillon (Punkadelick,) Sammi Garett (Cool Cool Cool,) and many others.  Andy Thorn (Leftover Salmon,) who has sat in on many of those live adventures, says, “It’s always a joy to play with the Sweet Lillies. Over the years, I’ve seen them evolve from a folk-and-bluegrass group into a genre-bending powerhouse. Today, at a Lillies show, you’ll hear everything from their beautiful, soulful originals, to creative reinventions of your favorite 90’s hip-hop tracks. They’re always ready to have fun - on stage and off - without losing an ounce of their professionalism.”The Sweet Lillies were born from Gussaroff’s desire to form a band in which each member would be an equal participant in terms of songwriting, singing, and creative input.  After years of accompanying other artists, serving as a side player, and writing songs for others, multi-instrumentalist and classical trained vocalist Gussaroff wanted to establish a true musical-collective that would highlight the best qualities of all involved.  In 2012 Gussaroff met Bisque, who is a classically trained string player; the two found an immediate and deep musical connection and The Sweet Lillies were born. Most recently, Jones Maynard (drums) and JJ Murphy (electric guitar) have come on board, completing Gussaroff’s vision.  Since forming in 2013 The Sweet Lillies have released six albums: 2016 The Sweet Lillies self-titled release, 2018 A Lighter Hue, produced by Leftover Salmon’s Vince Herman, 2021 Common Ground, produced by Railroad Earth’s Tim Carbone, 2021 Sweet Holiday Sessions, produced by Julie Gussaroff, 2023 Equality,  produced by Grammy-award winner Chris Pandolfi of The Infamous Stringdusters and released on Americana Vibes, 2024 Cover To Cover, produced by Julie Gussaroff,  marking the first cover album the band has released, taking on well-known hits and making them their own.================The potluck is optional, but is a great chance to connect others in the audience and maybe even share a meal with the artist. It also helps ensure the artist isn't having to have a meal from a gas station. We'll provide the plates, bowls, silverware, napkins, and, if you need it, serving spoons. Feel free to bring anything you'd like--an entrée, appetizer, dessert, or drink to share. Bring something you will enjoy eating, because if you enjoy it it is likely others will as well.================Crossroads Cultural Connections is supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency, through federal funds provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, Illinois Humanities, the Doris and Ken Kolb Charitable Trust, Big Bluestem Wind, and generous donors like you!

                "description": "WE LOVE LIVE ENTERTAIMENT, FOOD, AND FRIENDS…… and love bringing these three things together to create memorable experiences for both performers and the audience.Started officially on June 14th, 2014, Cà d’Zan House Concerts was built around bringing touring acts, sometimes paired with local supporting acts, to our home and other non-traditional venue spaces in the greater Quad City area for lovers of live entertainment of all ages and backgrounds to enjoy. We book all styles of music and even non-music performers (storytellers, comedians, dancers, etc) and generally put on 4 or 5 concerts a month. Each concert is preceded by a potluck meal where guests bring all sorts of dishes, desserts, and drinks to share. Our concerts are one of the few places where entire families, young and old alike, can come together to experience live music.We have both indoor and outdoor performance spaces. Our indoor space seats 30 comfortably and is decked out with premium sound treatment panels and high-end amplification to provide the best possible listening experience. Weather-permitting, we also hold concerts outdoors, with performers setup on our large porch and guests on the lawn with their lawn chairs and blankets, usually during a picturesque sunset.For performers we offer an attentive crowd in an intimate environment, dinner, a place to stay the night, and 100% of the proceeds."
