FocusMusic Presents ilyAIMY

Saturday night at Tikvat Israel in Rockville, MD, FocusMusic presents ilyAIMY: Headed up for over 20 years by singer/songwriters rob Hinkal and Heather Aubrey Lloyd, ilyAIMY is "eclectic... imagine if you will the R&B section of Earth Wind and Fire teamed up with the folk sensibilities of Steeleye Span" (Vance Gilbert). Touring most of the nation as fiercely independent artists they are "fearless writers & performers" as Pat Wictor (Brother Sun) writes "Voices this rich & emotionally hard-hitting - equal parts velvet darkness, barely contained heartbreak, & hard-won, unstoppable joy - don't come around often.” Their career and writing has been honoured by Bernard/Ebb Songwriter Awards, the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest, Kerrville Folk Festival, the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, Washington Area Music Awards, Rocky Mountain Folks Fest, Telluride Bluegrass Festival and more and they laugh, cry, rage and sing with an honesty that few other artists dare to express.
