In Lieu Of Flowers

In Lieu Of Flowers was formed in April of 2021, we are a 6-piece original Americana band whose members are from Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

We are vintage-loving musicians who blend traditional acoustic instruments of Pedal Steel Guitar, Fiddle, Accordion, Acoustic Guitar, Irish Bouzouki, with electric instruments, Telecaster, Gretsch, and Bass Guitar over the swampy soul grooves of Drums and Percussion.

Our music is a rich American soundscape that supports the poetic and heartfelt lyrics delivered through their multi-harmony vocal sound.

Dave Englund: Vocals, Guitar, Irish Bouzouki
Mike Bean: Vocals, Drums, Percussion
Steve Wolfe: Vocals, Bass Guitar
Chris Taylor: Guitar, Accordion, Keyboards
