No Turn Unstoned #61: Black Lily

In Philadelphia this past weekend the 1st annual black lily film and music festival, http://www.blacklilyfilm.org/, took place! There were some phenomenal performances at the opening and closing concerts. I was most excited about seeing Alice Russell live in the states, and she didn’t disappoint. (I’m looking forward to seeing a more extended set from her at Joe’s Pub in NYC tomorrow night.) However, there were several more really outstanding performances from Alice Smith, Black Blondie, Amy Winehouse, Jill Scott, Kindred, Lady Alma, Nouveau Riche, and the founders of the black lily, the Jazzyfatnastees, just to name a few.

This week’s show showcased the performers who performed at the festival.
