Heather Aubrey Lloyd

Recovering reporter, performance poet and fairy tale collector turned songwriter, Heather Aubrey Lloyd has co-fronted Baltimore’s ilyAIMY for nearly two decades. Playing everything from bait shops to clothing-optional resorts, Lloyd’s lyrical collection of tour stories became her first solo studio effort, “A Message in the Mess.” Each narrative is offered up in her passionate, “sing-me-the-phone-book” alto. Her finger-picked guitar says folk. Her lyrics show the influence of Baltimore's slam poetry scene. Her hand percussion says world music. "Janis Joplin and Joni Mitchell blended together," says The Montgomery Caller. 2018 No Depression Magazine Songwriting Award Finalist, 2018 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival MOST WANTED Artist, 2018 National Women's Music Festival Emerging Artist, 2017 Telluride Troubadour Top 4. She is the reigning Grand Prize winner of the prestigious Bernard Ebb Songwriting Award. Catch Wednesday livestreams with ilyAIMY here: https://www.youtube.com/user/vidyAIMY
