Tripping Lily
You only have to hear them once to become fans of Tripping Lily. This young quartet might be described as a string band with pop music sensibilities, or perhaps a cutting edge vocal quartet with acoustic instruments. Last year was a big year for Tripping Lily, highlighted by winning 2 Independent Music Awards for Best Folk Record and Best Acoustic Song, opening for Jazz artist Chris Botti, and being a featured guest for the Cape Cod Symphony’s Holiday Pops Spectacular.

Monica Rizzio (fiddle/ukulele/piano/vocals), hailing from Texas and Nashville has brought her Americana upbringing to native New Englanders Alex Becrelis (mandolin/guitar/washboard/vocals) and Demetrius Becrelis (guitar/ukulele/mandolin/vocals) and has formed a band that appeals to all genres, North and South. Stringed Bassist journeyman, Laird Boles anchors this enigmatic quartet. Tripping Lily blends a unique sound of Folk/Americana and Pop with deeply personal songwriting and vocal harmonies that are winning fans over by the thousands.
