Lily Henley is an award-winning folk singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist known for her synergistic exploration of both Sephardic and American folk traditions. She has performed extensively as a solo artist across North America, and with others including Grammy nominated artists Rushad Eggleston, David Krakauer, The Duhks, and Irish guitar virtuoso John Doyle. Lily’s first release, “Words Like Yours” was produced by renowned composer and bassist Omer Avital and was featured in numerous publications as well as on NPR and the BBC. The single and music video for her subsequent EP with producer and multi-instrumentalist Jake Sherman (Nick Hakim, Andrew Byrd, Emily King) was featured at the POOL festival of dance in Berlin. She has two upcoming albums, “Oras Dezaoradas”, a collection of brand new Judeo-Spanish Folk Songs highlighting feminine perspectives on transience, heartbreak, autonomy and change due out in 2022 and “Imperfect By Design”, an Indie Folk anthology about love and belonging. Lily was recognized as a 2019 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellow Finalist in Music/Sound from The New York Foundation for the Arts, and is an artist-in-residency at the highly acclaimed Cite Internationale des Arts in Paris. She is the recipient of a 2021-2022 Fulbright grant, the first recipient to France in the discipline of World Music.
Duncan Wickel is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist, singer, writer, and inventor based in Brooklyn. “A considerable talent…as persuasive in a traditional ballad as he is country fiddling or ripping through cascading classical flourishes or atonal double stops” (The Boston Globe). In 2016 Duncan performed as a member of the Stay Human Band on two consecutive episodes of CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Along with his band, Rising Appalachia, he was featured on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series. He has toured with major folk artists including IBMA Guitarist of the Year Molly Tuttle, Grammy nominees The Duhks, The Wood Brothers, The Infamous Stringdusters, Irish music legends John Doyle and Karan Casey, and many others. Duncan has performed at Carnegie Hall, The Lincoln and Kennedy Centers, The Grand Ol’ Opry, and the famed Biblioteca Alexandria in Egypt.
