The Black Lillies Tickets

The Black Lillies formed in 2009 in Knoxville, Tennessee, led by Cruz Contreras. Known for a roots-rock sensibility that blends Americana, blues, country, and folk, they carved out a distinct place in the indie Americana scene. Their music carries Appalachian influences and a rootsy, songwriter-driven sound that resonates with live audiences across the Southeast and beyond.

While on the road, they secured early career milestones, including multiple Grand Ole Opry invites beginning in 2011 and a memorable Bonnaroo appearance that helped cement their reputation as a formidable independent act. Their studio catalog from 2009 to 2018 showcases evolution and collaboration, from Whiskey Angel to Stranger to Me, each record reflecting a growing, producer-influenced approach that still honors their roots.

As of 2019, The Black Lillies announced a hiatus with their final show on December 31, 2019. While the band members have pursued other projects, the legacy of their independent sound continues to influence contemporary Americana.
