Built in 1760, the venue is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and has been an historic house museum since 1926.

Biography

Tripping Lily's acoustic folk pop sounds were formed long before they made their move from Nashville to Boston. Their edgy, unique sound took shape when Monica and Demetrius starting writing and recording more than five years ago. With a strong intent to improve upon their craft, Tripping Lily made the move to Boston. Whether they're exploring new music genres or soaking up popular literature and art, Tripping Lily has found their home on the East Coast.

A group of musicians who draw their inspiration from within, with Demetrius Becrelis (guitar/mandolin/vocals), brother Alex Becrelis (guitar/mandolin/vocals), Monica Rizzio (fiddle/vocals), and Laird Boles (upright bass), Tripping Lily blends a unique sound of traditional and contemporary genres.

Touted as fresh, energetic, and alive, Tripping Lily's pop-rock groundwork is cross-fertilized with folk music and cutting edge vocal harmonies. The band's unique ability to absorb traditional music while speaking to the here and now is proof of their versatility as contemporary musicians. Tripping Lily seeks to exploit the empty space of the canvas. They unravel everything they've known and in turn, end up in a better place.

The band has truly claimed their own place in the world of music.

Instrumentation
Alex Becrelis - mandolin, tenor banjo, guitar and voice
Demetrius Becrelis - ukulele, guitar and voice
