About the Artist
The Boston streets and subways have been sounding a little sweeter thanks to local singer/songwriter Lily Holbrook. For the past two years the 21 year old Massachussetts native has been capturing audiences with her expressive voice and touching melodies. She has even been known to cause a "traffic jam" of sorts, as people strolling through Harvard Square, Newbury Street or Faneuil Hall often gather into crowds of over 100 to listen. Lily is now making her way into the Boston club scene playing at venues such as The Middle East, The Milky Way, The Blackhorse Tavern, and The Midway Cafe. She has earned respect and admiration from both fans and fellow musicians. In the words of Mary Lou Lord, "Lily is Boston's best kept secret. But with a voice like that and songs to match it won't be long until the rest of the world catches on to this lovely new talent." This spring marks the release of her debut album "Running From The Sky". The CD features an eclectic arrangement of instuments and sounds, evoking images of faerie dust, melancholy magic and bittersweet childhood memories.

Enchanting! Transcending!! Magical!!.......2007-07-17

Running From the Sky was introduced to me when I went into this incredible store on Newbury in Boston, called The Fairy Shop. It was playing and I was moved to a deep sense of peace and gratitude while in there. I know the music was a part of it. I bought the cd there, brought it home, and her voice makes me remember. What a refreshing, hypnotic, ethereal voice and collection of songs.

Lily Holbrook - Running From the Sky.......2006-11-10

An enchanting collection of songs from someone who has a fantasy point of view and a beautiful voice. This is truly magical and definitely something which makes me smile!!

Good addition for fans.......2005-09-10

For fans of Lily's latest album, this is a worthy addition. It contains many more acoustic and experimental songs, one of which is a very nice acoustic version of Mermaids. I recommend to buy Everything was Beautiful first (latest album) and then move on to this earlier one.
Highly recommended for fans of 'eclectic style' singer-songwriter music such as Tori Amos, Heather Nova, Juliana Hatfield, Tanya Donelly, etc.

Exceptionally good.......2005-08-03

I bought this album from Lily herself in Santa Monica's 3d Street Promenade a couple of days ago--heard her sing, couldn't stop the feelings, bought the CD. Exceptionally heartfelt and real songs--if you're into modern folk/singer-songwriter stuff, this is a must. And Lily got some more excellent songs up her sleeve--like the one she was singing when I stopped by (I giess it's called "The Last Day Of Our Acquaintance"). Good luck to her, she's talented, beautiful and really, really good!

Beautiful debut for a wonderful young woman.......2004-04-06

I met Lily as she sang her heart out on the street in San Francisco-- her glorious voice and lifting guitar amazed me. She's as sweet as her music, and it's twice as nice to see her live. I wish her great success!
