Lily Seabird

Chop Suey Presents: Lily Seabird and Thomas Dollbaum

On Monday, August 4th, since 2023, Lily Seabird's life has been in perpetual motion, spending nearly half of that time on the road performing her own music and as a touring bassist. While she thrives in transit, back home she is anchored by Trash Mountain, a pink house surrounded by other artists situated on a decommissioned landfill site at the back of Burlington's Old North End. Here, Seabird has found belonging, friendship, and inspiration. It's a place that hosts artists, puts on shows, and has been passed along in her friend group for the better part of the decade. It's a symbol of transition and stability: something always evolving and growing but never losing its soul. It's only fitting that Seabird named her new album Trash Mountain, as it also contains its namesake's qualities. Over nine delicate but sturdy tracks of intimate folk rock, she pares her songwriting down to its most resonant essentials. It's an album of unwelcome exits and uncertain futures, but there's resiliency and hope at its core.

About Thomas Dollbaum

Thomas Dollbaum is a musician and songwriter from Tampa, Florida. In 2015, Dollbaum began attending the University of New Orleans for his master's in poetry. While in the city, he began writing the songs that eventually became Wellswood, his debut album. Since its release in 2022 by Fat Possum subsidiary Big Legal Mess (AllMusic said he paints the bleakest pictures with a knowing grin, delivering lyrics of rough-living characters and their grim stories as gorgeous, softly glowing Americana), Dollbaum has toured heavily, sharing stages with folks like Damien Jurado, Dougie Poole, and Superwolves. Dollbaum has accumulated a number of new songs since Wellswood, including the December double single Do Me a Kindness / Fate of Flight. Rolling Stone was enamored by Dollbaum's set at SXSW last month, calling his songs deeply felt Southern rock anthems with the feel of classics you just haven't heard yet. Dollbaum will be joined by a full band.
