Project Flora Album Release Show / Jim Connolly @ The Lilypad

Niko Malinowski

Join us for a live performance of The Only Constant from start to finish, in addition to a solo set from Jim Connolly.

The Lilypad

Project Flora celebrates their release of The Only Constant, playing the album in its entirety in addition to new unreleased music. The show will also feature Jim Connolly performing a solo set of music for trombone and electronics. Boston-based Project Flora inhabits the intersection of progressive metal and modern jazz, yielding experimental compositions defined by their ferocity as much as their finesse. Their debut album, The Only Constant, dropping September 4, 2026, combines complex rhythms and lyrical melodies within evolving compositions. The music’s dynamic nature can be both relentlessly aggressive and disarmingly vulnerable.
