(who also created the Philadelphia Museum of Art!). Lili performed as the opening act for legendary singer/songwriter Peabo Bryson. Lili had a fun night as she and Sam immediately connected to a new audience that in minutes won them over! If CDs
are currently almost dead, it sure didn't appear that way last night. After Lili and Sam finished their set, fans lined up in the lobby at the merch table as though there was no such thing as streaming or vinyl. It was a wonderful meet and greet as
Lili autographed CDs and graciously posed with fans for photos and took the time to talk with her new audience. The staff at the Keswick was also first class with their care and attention to detail. Fantastic night! |
