"Guilded Lilly was a fantastic addition to the 2024 Redfellow Music Festival. Festival attendees rated them in the top 3 of the 9 bands that performed last July, and we loved working with them. Their enthusiasm, professionalism, and dedication to marketing our event was unparalleled in our 3yr history. We chose them out of 59 applications because they had something special...and our audience agreed!" - Redfellow Music Festival
