Bring a Friend for Free!

Post-Show Artist Chat

Audiences are moved by William's powerfully cinematic composing, his distinctive renditions of rock classics like Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" and his vigorous style which includes playing the piano upside down!

Taking a page from ‘50s crooners, ‘30s style jazz, and the chanteuse tradition of the ‘60s, Lily Frost's brand of “lounge pop” is a dreamy internationally flavoured hybrid of minimalism and soul-stabbing honesty. Her eccentrically catchy work has been featured in Telus commercials, Greys Anatomy and the movie Crazy Beautiful.
