Jacob and Lily are one of Canada’s newest must-see acts; catch them as they tour across North America, living the gypsy life in a 35 Ft RV, playing their unique and organic folk-roots blend.
Complex fusion-style rhythms and innovative, spontaneous songs create an electric atmosphere that captivates their audiences. Incorporating the cajon beat box, world percussion instruments and a partial drum kit, Caleb Friesen is the perfect compliment to Karla Adolphe’s powerful voice and award winning songwriting.
In just two short years Jacob and Lily have played over 300 shows and performed at some of Canada’s most prestigious festivals including: The Winnipeg Folk Festival, Blue Skies Festival, Trout Forest Music Festival, BarrieFolk, an official showcase at the 2007 NXNE festival, MARIA Manitoba Music Showcases at the 2006/2007 OCFF, Creston Valley Music Fest, Gateway Festival, Great Woods Music Festival, Harvest Sun Music Festival, Winnipeg Fringe Festival, Fallout Artfest in Minneapolis, The Harvest Moon Festival, Winnipeg Folk Festival Lunchour Series, SNACC Music in the Ruins Series, and the Winnipeg Folk Festival Young Performers Showcase.

Avery, Ray Bonneville, The Good Lovelies, Little Miss Higgins, Chic Gamine, Rose Cousins, Elliot Brood, Alana Levendoski, The Arrogant Worms, Craig Cardiff, Twilight Hotel, Cara Luft, The Doug and Jess Band, The Cracker Cats, 100 Portraits, Trace Bundy, Holly O’Reilly, Nathan Rogers, Lindsay Jane, Dan Frechette, and MB Hal.

Jacob and Lily were selected as one of 5 Co-Winners at the 2008 Mountain Stage NewSong Contest, and were also selected to perform live on the internationally broadcast Mountain Stage radio/television show.
