Dreamlily

“There is a definite bridge between skin and sound. What I’m discovering is that the bridge is infinite.” You remember the band by her name, Lily Herne. At that time Bulldog 93.3fm said, “they play music that’s not in a category”. Neither are dreams. After the band’s first European tour, their audience pinned the butterfly as dreamrock. Out of a night-foundered genre the four-piece became “Dreamlily”. Lily has been called the “High Priestess of Dreamrock”. Lily models for the University of Georgia’s School of Art by day. By night she dreamrocks. At the Georgia Museum Samurai Exhibition, Japan’s Consul General invited Dreamlily to perform his Sayonara concert in Atlanta. Live music opened for Lily through her silent and still work as a model. “September 6 is a special show because there is no roof between my music and the sky. Perhaps the Rooftop lifts us closer to Art Rosenbaum, Rest in Peace.” Professor Rosenbaum said good-bye one year ago, September 4, 2022. His historical murals remain in museums all over the country and as close as our Globe across the street. A Grammy winning folklorist who developed his own style of banjo-playing, his painting bridged music and time. Dreamlily will release “Spiral Stair” on September 4, with footage from Art’s studio on his spiral staircase. “I posed on that stairway for several hours. It felt like a lucid dream. His artists were above and below me, drawing from every point of view. Rosenbaum urged us on and let us create. His paint and his presence gave us a classroom, a stairway, a city, and a cosmos.” In his own words: “It’s really about a quest, and I wanted to make the city not look like an ancient city- and also have someone recording, someone singing and someone videoing - just to show that this is not a storybook view of the past. It’s the past and present. We’re in the time flow.” Honoring Art Rosenbaum with songs like “Days of 1974” and “Baker Island”, Dreamlily invites you into the time flow above the town. “It is still yesterday on Baker Island, It is tomorrow in the back of my mind…In the back of my mind I am back to back with Heaven.”
