Masters of Bluegrass music, The Lilly Brothers, Everett and Bea, and Don Stover were pioneers in bringing professionally performed southern Appalachian music to the upper northeastern region of the United States.

 

Originating from Clear Creek, a community near Beckley, West Virginia, Everett and Bea began their career by singing in churches and at area shows. Everett toured with Flatt & Scruggs in the early 1950s, participating in fourteen influential recordings that included classic duets with Lester Flatt.

The Lilly Brothers had become the first Bluegrass act to take their music north when they relocated to the Boston area, performing at the popular Hillbilly Ranch playing an amazing sixteen-year gig, seven nights a week, fifty weeks a year!  The Lilly Brothers were also the first Bluegrass band to do a professional tour of Japan and, on their next tour, invited Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys to come along.

 

On October 17, 2002, The Lilly Brothers & Don Stover proudly became the 20th Inductees into the International Bluegrass Music Association's Hall of Honor, the highest honor that Bluegrass can bestow.

 
Everett Lilly has passed his love for music on to his sons, who carry on this family tradition by performing in the band now known as The Lilly Mountaineers.

With the addition of the hot young West Virginia current banjo champion, Rad Lewis, Everett Lilly and the Lilly Mountaineers tour throughout the States, as well as internationally.

The band specializes in Bluegrass, Country, Southern Rock and Gospel, performing in churches, schools, theaters and at private parties, weddings, festivals, family reunions and other special events.  Ask about our LIMO packages!
