Members

Charlene Adzima

fiddle, voice, feet

  

Former step dancer Charlene delights audiences with her driving fiddle-playing, which is influenced by Grammy-nominated fiddler Liz Carroll. Charlene has toured nationwide and notably had a residency at Dollywood.

Kara Rogers

concertina, accordion

  

A student of ex-Solas accordionist John Williams, Kara is an exciting, up-and-coming squeezebox player. Winner of the 2019 Midwest Fleadh Cheoil on concertina, she has competed in Ireland twice. 

Jeanna Schultz

mandolin, bouzouki, accordion

  

Multi-instrumentalist Jeanna Schultz began her mandolin career in college and she hasn't looked back. She is currently honing her skills on accordion under the tutelage of box master David Munnelly.

Rick Nelson

guitar

  

When available, Ohio-based guitarist Rick Nelson joins The Lilies of the Midwest as an honorary lily. His thoughtful approach to accompaniment derives from the playing of Mícheál Ó Domhnaill and Dáithí Sproule.
