Baltimore’s ilyAIMY (i love you And I Miss You) has played it ALL nationwide for more than two decades. Similarly adventurous songwriters, audiences should expect everything from boogie-woogie to beatboxing, innovative acoustic guitar, and rapid-fire lyricism softened by cello, soulful vocals and lush harmonies. With honors from prestigious festivals (Kerrville NewFolk, Telluride Bluegrass, FreshGrass, Falcon Ridge Folk), ilyAIMY is an award-winning “welcome jolt “and an acoustically roiling, combustible attack on the usual singer/songwriter fare,” say reviewers.

Collectively their energetic brand of new-folk has garnered honors from the Bernard/Ebb Songwriter Awards, Mid-Atlantic Song Contest, Kerrville Folk Festival, the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, Washington Area Music Awards, Rocky Mountain Folks Fest, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, National Association for Campus Activities, the Northeast & Southeast Regional Folk Alliances and more. They are three-time winners of the Washington Area Music Association Winners for Best Contemporary Folk Group and are known for combining their award-winning songwriting, tight male/female harmonies, signature intricate slap-style guitar work, ukulele, percussion and an eclectically humorous stage show into an exquisite package.
