Lily Sazz

Lily Sazz’s path to her current activities as a singer-songwriter was not a straight line. After a completely different start in life, growing up in a farming community in the Niagara Peninsula, she made a change and studied classical music, majoring in piano and harpsichord, before being swept up by the serendipitous discovery of blues and roots music that she’d never before witnessed. This was a game changer that led to a completely different musical trajectory as a keyboard player in rock, blues, and country bands, eventually leading to projects that led to adventures and opportunities she hadn’t considered.

These days, Lily is finally taking the time to focus on songwriting and singing lead vocals. Her songwriting has typically been tailored for the voices of others to sing, and now is her time to write for her own voice. With the debut of her live performance video, “Goodnight, Sweetheart”, we get a sneak peek of what is to come. Watch for more as Lily prepares to create studio versions of her latest compositions, containing heartfelt lyrics, often incorporating topics that aren’t written about every day.

Lily was a long time member of the Women’s Blues Revue Band (10 years as musical director), toured with Canada’s Queen of the Blues, Rita Chiarelli, co-founded and led critically acclaimed bands Trailblazers, Groove Corporation, and Maple Blues Award nominated Cootes Paradise.
