The Sweet Lillies with Derek Dames Ohl & Elle Michelle at The Velvet Elk Lounge

The Sweet Lillies' music is first and foremost heartfelt and collaborative. Those defining traits are given life by the quartet of musicians who make up the Lillies. Together they have combined their individual strengths to deliver powerful narratives of life in song. With their lineup of guitar viola upright bass drums and ethereal vocal harmonies that float like a dream the Sweet Lillies' music has a hard hitting original flavor with a forward-looking eye. They have incorporated all of their cumulative life-experiences into their music song-writing and artistry crafting an uncommonly-beautiful style they have christened “String-Americana” - a nod to the band’s all encompassing musical tastes and willingness to experiment with genres ranging from folk and rock all the way to hip-hop. 

Derek and Elle had a chance meeting on a late summer night in 2021 on Pearl Street and they have been musical collaborators since. They're excited to bring you a show dedicated to their great musical influences, Grateful Dead and John Prine! Catch them warming up the stage for the Sweet Lillies with their mash up, Grateful Prine!

Bar opens at 5 PM and happy hour from open to 7 PM. (21+) The Velvet Elk Lounge does not allow minors - No Exceptions.
