BenBen + Lily is a wildly symbiotic bond between two New York based songwriters who regard each other as musical siblings and partners in magic. Their debut EP ‘White Elephant,’ which has garnered 60,000 streams, is a powerful emblem of their commitment to using art to demolish fear and transmute anxiety into euphoria.

BenBen and Lily perform in the UK as a trio with their UK-based spiritual triplet, cello goddess Izzy Williamson. By the end of 2024, the group will have performed 15 shows across the UK and Europe. This year’s adventures culminate in a last weekend of performances, including the How The Light Gets In festival, Northern Quarter in Huddersfield, and a live taping event at London’s legendary MAP Studio Cafe.

Lily Desmond is a violin sorceress whose writing can be dark and primeval, but always laden with gorgeous, ornate vocals. Her violin playing appears on the soundtrack for the new A24 film I Saw the TV Glow starring Brigette Lundy-Paine. BenBen is an animation director, as well as a storied singer, songwriter and studio producer. He has worked in the studio with artists as illustrious as the Indigo Girls, Brandi Carlile, and Samantha Crain. An exotic leaf blowing on a weird autumn wind, Ben’s high-tenor voice sounds like an uncanny hybrid of Thom Yorke, Elliot Smith and… Michael Jackson. Together, BenBen + Lily make music that is infectiously melodic and intimately magical.
