Welcome to Lily's Pad

1999 North Avenue, Burlington, Vermont

Lily's Pad is a DIY listening and sharing space for musicians, spoken word performers, and other artists, (and their pals!). We exist to encourage and support the growth of our amazing community of artists regardless of talent and experience levels, and we are a safe and welcoming space for female, queer, and gender non-conforming artists.

Lily's pad features a twice monthly house party that serves as a song circle/jam/open-mic night called The Ribbit Review! Artists are encouraged to bring original songs, covers, poetry, or any other sonically oriented art they'd like to perform.

We also welcome non-performers to just come, hang out, enjoy the space, have some tea and treats, and connect with and just be in community.

The Ribbit Review & Other Events

The Ribbit Review is part house-party, part song circle/open-mic that showcases performers of all levels from seasoned singer/songwriters, to those who are just starting out and just looking to connect with other artists and hone their skills.

Bring some of your art to share - whether it's something original you've written, a cover of another artist you just really love to perform, or your latest poem or musings to share. It's all good!

Artists sign-ups at the event!

The Ribbit Review a free event! Come and perform or just sit and enjoy the artists!

Tea and light snacks will be available. We'll also have some board games for those of your who'd like to get your nerd on while enjoying the artists!

Lily's Pad is a substance/smoke free environment.

Note: The event will be in the basement which is usually pretty warm, but we encourage folks to bring a blanket in case you get chilly!
