Lily Holbrook is an American singer-songwriter and busker born in Brockton, MA. After gaining attention as a subway busker in Boston, MA Lily self-released an album, "Running from the Sky" in 2000. Interest generated by sales of her self-produced album, as well as continued interest from her street busking and her appearance in the 2003 feature documentary "Playing for Change," which later aired on the Sundance Channel attracted major-label interest from Virgin/EMI. An EMI subsidiary, Back Porch Records (The Blue Note Label Group) released her first major-label album, "Everything was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt," in 2004.

"Everything was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt," was favorably reviewed by the Washington Post as well as the Village Voice and Pop Matters.

Her most recent album, "Wicked Ways," was released in September of 2008.
