Artist description the jillians began as the solo project of greg roth, most recently a member of Philadelphia's Haywood Trout. Now a fully-democratic band effort, the emphasis is on a folk/pop foundation with a world eclectism lurking. lyrically, its pretty apparent that travel, cultural and personal things are on our minds, but there's not a whole lot of confessional moments. sort of abstract short stories without the plotline. we shouldn't be your first pick to play a dance party..

Music Style toeing the line between the stories and vignettes of folk music and hooky pop stuff

Musical Influences roots & jangle pop, american poetry ; travel mags and vacation time
