About The Lilly Brothers
Artist Biography
The Lilly Brothers, Everett and B., played old-time/bluegrass music together for over three decades. They may best be remembered in New England, where they were a fixture in the downtown Boston music scene from the early '60s through 1980. The Lillys debuted in 1938 singing old-time country on a West Virginia radio station; in 1939, they began performing regularly at the newly established WJLS Beckley. They made their recording debut in 1948, and recorded fairly frequently during the 1950s. The Lilly Brothers remained intact through 1970. In addition to playing downtown Boston, they also played the local festival circuit and were instrumental in the development of urban bluegrass. ~ Sandra Brennan
