Lillian Hackett At just 17 years old, Lillian Hackett is an emerging singer-songwriter from Lovettsville, VA. With a natural inclination toward New Americana music, she skillfully weaves a soulful and authentic musical experience, blending covers and originals. Inspired by iconic artists like Patsy Cline, Gillian Welch, and Bob Dylan, Lillian recently returned from her American Idol audition, aiming to grow not only as a musician but specifically as a storyteller. When not performing, Lillian enjoys spending time with her family, recording songs, and dreams of hiking the Appalachian Trail with her guitar in tow.
