Watch Lili Haydn "Strawberry Street"
May 13, 2008
Is there such a thing as violin pop? Well, now there is.
Check out Lili Haydn's frivolous and fun video for her new single "Strawberry Street" that is taken from her third album "Place Between Places." Haydn is an alternative singer-songwriter-violinist who is one of the most requested sessions violinists in Los Angeles who has recorded with people like Josh Groban, No Doubt, Hootie & The Blowfish and even the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra.
Lili joined forces with Roko Belic, the Academy Award-nominated director for the film Genghis Blues to record the video for "Strawberry Street." It was shot at a soundstage as well as on the streets of East Hollywood in Los Angeles, where Lili, armed with her violin like a pied piper, leads a group of revelers who are all looking to achieve a "transcendent" state of mind.
A committed humanitarian and activist, Lili announced on Monday that she will perform at select cities during the Human Rights Campaign's True Colors tour this summer together with artists like The B-52's, Tegan & Sara and Joan Jett. Even more reason to play close attention to this very special talent.
