Join us at the first of our 2026 series of bi-monthly Swan Songs Portland benefit concerts at Artichoke Music! We have a very special evening with a dynamic young artist, Portland's own Lilla!
Lilla combines R&B, Soul, Jazz, and Funk, to create a fusion that's uniquely her own. Her single Don't Stop The Music charted at #34 on Billboard and was the top 10 song of the year on the UK charts.
From Kingston, Jamaica, to Beijing, China, Lilla has performed with an impressive array of artists, including Trombone Shorty, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Willie Nelson, Karl Denson, Bill Summers, and Talib Kweli. Shortly after graduating from Berklee College of Music, the singer, bandleader, producer and multi-instrumentalist released her second self-produced album, The Awakening—her testament to the power of music and its ability to connect people from around the globe.
Lilla's music is infused with heartfelt passion and effervescent soul. Her energy lifts audiences and bolsters communities as she honors a life-long conviction to leave every room, town, and the world at large a little better than she found it.

Swan Songs creates a sense of connection for individuals near the end of life by gifting them private concerts, and supports live music in a community by compensating artists for the concerts. These intimate musical last wishes concerts are held in healthcare facilities or private homes, and are often attended by family, loved ones, and caregivers. Swan Songs maximizes the impact of the concerts by engaging musicians who match each recipient's favorite style of music, songs, or instruments. From opera to mariachi, bluegrass to the blues, each concert is unique and deeply meaningful for everyone present.
