DESCRIPTION:
"Baliset”, performed by ilyAIMY with Mosno Al-Moseeki & Acacia Sears (www.ilyAIMY.com) at the Institute of Musical Traditions (www.imtfolk.org), Seekers Church, Washington DC, USA on October 26, 2016.

ilyAIMY leaves it to the fans to decide what they sound like to them. They say it sounds like some combination of Rusted Root, Buckingham/Nicks, Jethro Tull, acoustic Tool, Ani Difranco, Keller Williams, "Nickel Creek on crack", Alice in Chains, the Indigo Girls, Metallica, and Cry Cry Cry - it's no wonder ilyAIMY has shared events comfortably with folk acts (We're About 9, Ellis Paul, Dar Williams and Pat Wictor), anti-folk acts (Hammell on Trial, Ember Swift) and pop-rock acts (the Blue Oyster Cult, Jeffrey Gaines, The Lloyd Dobler Effect, Gym Class Heroes) as well as death metal bands, reggae groups and hip-hop acts.

An ilyAIMY audience consists of fans that listen quietly while nodding their heads thoughtfully, a couple of guys headbanding, occasional ball-room waltzers, and that woman over there doing that weird raver thing with her hands...
