Origin.

What is Black Lily?

Black Lily was a legendary open mic collective in late 1990's Philadelphia that was started by

Grammy award winners Questlove and his bandmates: The Roots. The open mic night started out of necessity to find like minded talent to fill a void that was missing on mainstream radio and in music at that time. Black Lily grew to legendary status and spawned the careers of not only The Roots, but many other multi-platinum acts of the more cerebral neo soul/r&b/hip hop era of the early 2000's including Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Musiq Soulchild, the late J Dilla and many more who have influenced what we listen to today.

Rebirth.

What is BLACK LILY UPRISING?

Answer: A FREE radical art and culture movement. Open to the public.

Simply put, it’s the inspired continuation of that legendary movement started by The Roots and now based in West Palm Beach and focusing on cultivating South Florida's gifted music and art scene. Black Lily Uprising makes it's debut during the internationally famous SUNFEST festival week at one of the Palm Beaches hottest art spots: WINE SCENE, which can best be described as part gallery, part ultra lounge, part New York style warehouse with a spacious, eclectic open air amphitheater.
