About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours 30 minutes

Join us for an unforgettable evening with Lily Henley—an award-winning folk singer, songwriter, and fiddle player known for her fearless approach to tradition and her genre-defying sound.

A bold voice in modern folk music, Henley’s work bridges the rich worlds of American roots and global heritage, particularly the endangered Judeo-Spanish (Ladino) ballad tradition. With bell-like vocals, expressive songwriting, and virtuosic fiddle playing, she brings ancient stories into vibrant conversation with the present.

Lily has toured internationally, collaborated with a wide range of artists from roots to world music, and captivated audiences from Carnegie Hall to festivals across the U.S. and Europe.

“A beautiful fusion of Sephardic and American folk tunes.” —Acoustic Guitar Magazine

“Henley’s songs are steeped in emotion and craft, delivered with stirring clarity.” —No Depression
