Four members of The RIVER play together celebrating music, poetry, being able to come together and a birthday.

The RIVER is singer-songwriter Lily Kiara’s band in which she brings together three great loves: new folk songs, improvisations and poetry. In 2006, the band began by performing at the Amsterdam Literary Festival. In the years that followed The RIVER played with the full line-up of six musicians or with guests and sometimes in smaller formations. In 2015, the first CD The SWIM SESSIONS was released on Sibyl Sings, recorded during a live concert at the Bimhuis. https://lilykiara.nl/music/the-river/

“The RIVER is exceptional. Because of the combination of music genres that mingle and at the same time also don’t mingle, but mostly very harmoniously live besides each other so it feels as if they mingle.” (translation from Dutch) – Peter Bruyn in frnkfrt.net

you do not have to be a fire for
every mountain blocking you you could be a water

and
soft river your way to freedom too.
