Master keyboardist and producer, Wayne Vaughn, of Earth, Wind & Fire fame, is producing the show, adding his special brand of funk to the English equation. Performance painter Norton Wisdom, known for his spontaneously painted imagery, will also capture the sounds on canvas during the evening. The Mint is located at 6010 West Pico Blvd in Los Angeles, and show time is at 9:15 p.m. A VIP after party with the musicians and the BVC members will follow the show featuring DJ Level UP in the Mint's private event room.Unsung Lilly is a quirky new band from the United Kingdom, fronted by the stunning vocal talents of Sera and Frankie. With their mix of stylistic influences, the two, alongside their band, have been recognized overseas as a modern day Fleetwood Mac. Pairing the musicality of old school Maroon 5, with the atmospheric vibe of John Mayer, combined with the quirkiness of Paloma Faith and Tori Amos, Unsung Lilly offers a wicked cocktail of musical ingredients. Their visit to the states finds them stirring things up a bit, as they engage the groove master, Wayne Vaughn, in their musical mix.
