Lila Hood & Friends @ ThE Dizzy Bird
Lila (LEE-LAH), the essence of love, good, creativity, strength, and imagination.
Lila is a seasoned, professional multi-instrumentalist whose dedication to her craft is shown through her musical expression, compositions, and enthusiastic performances. Her primary instrument is the violin and her mastery of the instrument's intricacies gives her the innate ability to touch the heart, soul, and spirit of her listeners.
While at Georgetown University, Lila was selected out of a nationwide audition to participate in the New York String Seminar Orchestra, where she had the opportunity to be mentored by Maestro Emeritus Alexander Schneider and Maestro Isaac Stern. Through consortium, she went on to become a founding member of The Howard University String Quartet, and a student at The Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University. After participating in classical performances at Carnegie Hall and The Kennedy Center, Lila felt a strong desire to explore different musical genres including jazz, blues, rock, reggae, soul, Afro-Cuban, Latin, and hip-hop.
Within her performance career, Lila has performed in numerous venues locally and nationally including the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference, Downtown Alive Fall Concert Series, Court Square Summer Music Series, Hattiloo Theater Block Party, Orleans Restaurant, The Women's Foundation of Memphis Annual Luncheon, Hard Rock Café Memphis, The Levitt Shell at Overton Park, Cossitt Library Lunchtime Music Series, The Ornamental Metal Museum, The California Music Fest, and The Organization of Black Airline Pilots Convention in Atlanta. She was also featured in SKIRT Magazine in the "Women to Watch" issue and invited to perform at the Jamaica Ocho Rios International Jazz Festival.
A sophisticated lounge with plush banquet couches, antique chairs, and a comfortable loft that overlooks the stage, The Dizzy Bird is an exclusive lounge, seating 40 patrons. While we have a small menu, we encourage guest, if they'd like an adult beverage, please bring your own. We have a small corkage fee.
Silence is golden with fine music and the low number of people in the room guarantees maximum enjoyment.
