The
Short Story
After dating on and off for much of 2009, singer-songwriters
Jenny Goodspeed, Katie Clarke, and Stephanie
Marshall decided to make it official. Over a
few beers, a yummy plate of wings, and the lovely
sounds of Pat and Tex LaMountain playing at
a local tavern, The Boxcar Lilies were born.
Yes it was
a shotgun wedding. They married their love (read:
obsession) for great songwriting and sweet harmonies
and set out to arrange originals and some of
their favorite cover songs by the likes of Fred
Eaglesmith, Neil Young, and Gillian Welch.
Each an
accomplished singer and songwriter in her own
right, together as The Boxcar Lilies they are
a high energy and engaging Americana trio with
a knack for heavenly three-part harmony and
exceptional songwriting.
The Boxcar Lilies are currently in the studio
with acclaimed producer and engineer Dave Chalfant
(Erin McKeown, Beth Amsel, The Nields, The Winterpills)
to record their debut CD. They launched a CD
Presale campaign in order to help fund the
new album.
