Lily Locksmith hails from the town of Mockfjärd in the heart of Sweden and posses the vibe and the feel from female Blues singers that once ruled the clubs decades ago. She first entered the stage in the mid 00’s, back then under the name of Lily Mae. She has appeared as a guest with many fine acts like Mike Sanchez (also featured on his Babes & Buicks album), The Domestic Bumblebees and Danny & The Cappers among others.

Unfortunately, just as plans of taking her career a step further, Lily was diagnosed with cancer and was forced to put everything on hold and a tough couple of years followed. Thanks to the Swedish “Tobias Registry”, she successfully made a transplant of her stem cells in 2013. Her dream to stand on stage and sing motivated and kept her going all this time and now she's more determined than ever to make that dream come true.

Lily Locksmith and her band are ready to turn the world upside down with their Rhythm & Blues-oriented music. She draws inspiration from icons such as Ruth Brown, Big Mama Thornton and Etta James as well as new artists like JD McPherson and fellow countryman Daniel Norgren.

2017 is shaping up to be a turning point for Lily as she was nominated in the “Rockabilly Female” category for the 2018 Ameripolitan Music Awards happening in February in Memphis, TN. Plus, Lily and the band put their blues influence stamp on a new Christmas single on Enviken Records releasing in December! They’ve also been booked for 2018’s Viva Las Vegas which proves to be a “can’t-miss” set!
