The Sweet Lillies and Adrian + Meredith Live at Bishop Hill Creative Commons

Get ready for an electrifying night of roots, rhythm, and harmony as Bishop Hill Creative Commons proudly presents The Sweet Lillies with special guests Adrian + Meredith on Saturday, November 1st. The evening begins with an optional community potluck dinner at 6 p.m. (bring a dish to share if you’d like to join), followed by the concert at 7 p.m. This is an all-ages event, and a $20–30 donation is suggested.

Hailing from Colorado, The Sweet Lillies have built their reputation on blending old-time soul with modern vibrancy. With an all-acoustic lineup—guitar, viola, upright bass, and drums—and harmonies that seem to float effortlessly, the quartet creates a sound both timeless and fresh. Members Julie Gussaroff, Becca Bisque, Jones Maynard, and Dustin Rohleder craft vivid, heartfelt songs rooted in life’s shared experiences. Their music tells powerful stories with warmth, grace, and energy—drawing in audiences wherever they play.

Sharing the bill are East Nashville’s dynamic duo Adrian + Meredith, whose kinetic mix of klezmer, roots rock, swing, punk, and folk is as danceable as it is deeply human. From the Grand Ole Opry to European tours supporting Ukrainian refugees, Adrian + Meredith’s music bridges worlds and generations with grit, humor, and heart.

Critics call their performances “a world-class experience” (Carson City Levitt AMP) and “roots rock perfection” (No Depression). With songs like “Stop the Spiral” and “Klezmer American” capturing the pulse of life in 2024, their show is as thought-provoking as it is irresistibly fun.

Together, these two powerhouse acts promise a night of unforgettable musicianship, community, and spirit—right in the heart of Henry County.
