Lily & The Vow is determined to bring back guitar solos. This folk-inspired indie rock band from Chicago has been making music together since high school, fusing folk-rock themes with pop melodies to create the inexplicably familiar feel of the project. Lead singer Lily Reighard takes an instinctual approach to songwriting that defies traditional genre boundaries, drawing inspiration from modern artists like Maggie Rogers, Samia, and Lizzy McAlpine alongside childhood staples like Fleetwood Mac, Sheryl Crow, and Carole King. Look out for their debut EP, “Was This Fun for You?”, set to release in Spring 2026 and listen if you feel like making pancakes and kissing your friends.
