The Sweet Lillies were born from Gussaroff’s desire to form a band in which each member would be an equal participant in terms of songwriting, singing, and creative input. After years of accompanying other artists, serving as a side player, and writing songs for others, multi-instrumentalist and classical trained vocalist Gussaroff wanted to establish a true musical-collective that would highlight the best qualities of all involved. In 2012 Gussaroff met Bisque, who is a classically trained string player; the two found an immediate and deep musical connection and The Sweet Lillies were born. Most recently, Jones Maynard (drums) and JJ Murphy (electric guitar) have come on board, completing Gussaroff’s vision.
