BiL are innovators in bringing “folk music” kicking and screaming to rock audiences (and rock music to screaming folk audiences!) The band's many instrumental dance tunes incorporate global influences, rhythms, and melodies that are guaranteed to keep the feet moving. Original songs stick in the mind long after the music is over. The players improvise freely yet stay in sync, playing a vital mix of original and traditional material. The group and the individual musicians have won over 20 Minnesota Music Awards, and toured throughout the US and in Europe. With the return of original lead singer Todd Menton and the addition of world-travelling eclectic instrumentalists Dean Magraw and Marc Anderson, the highly-identifiable BiL sound surges foward. Enthusiastic, powerful, technically brilliant, playing a wealth of instruments, electric and acoustic, Boiled In Lead routinely blows away labels and enchants audiences.
