Lula Wiles w/ Humbird from the Pine Hollow Live Room!

Lula Wiles is a band deeply rooted in traditional folk music, but equally deep is their devotion tomodern songcraft. They deliver love songs that are at once defiant and heartsick, as well as
new contributions to the folk ballad canon and timely explorations of what it means to live in
America today. Drawing from the deep wells of traditional old-time and bluegrass, classic
country, and contemporary indie-folk-rock, Lula Wiles melds diverse influences to create a
harmony-driven sound all their own. The three band members deftly swap instruments and
frontwoman duties, with Ellie Buckland (vocals/acoustic guitar/fiddle), Isa Burke (vocals/acousticand electric guitars/fiddle), and Mali Obomsawin (vocals/acoustic guitar/bass) each contributingsingularly expressive vocals, instrumental lines, and songwriting. Onstage, the band gatherstightly around a single microphone for a spirited and emotionally resonant live show, anchoredby their powerful three-part harmonies. Currently based in Boston, Lula Wiles released theirdebut album in May 2016 and their sophmore album, What Will We Do will be released on
Smithsonian Folkways on January 25 th , 2019.
