The Womps

Funky New England-formed fusion rock band The Womps is a band that’s unique in its innovations, and familiar in its rock n’ roll roots.

Divide and Conquer has called them a band with “craftsmanship, filled with love and good ole-fashioned elbow grease.” The Womps takes listeners on an eclectic journey of improvisation and colorful songwriting, reinventing the music at every performance.

Leaders of The Womps Jason Lilly (drums, guitar, and vocals) and Kailey Zercher (violin and vocals) are performers who inspire performers of all ages to become, like themselves, “their own creators, no matter what others tell them is or isn’t possible.”

The Womps has appeared at the Harry Brown’s Farm for the Ganja Grail Festival, Freeport Fall Fest, Marshfield Fair, Jamaica Plains Porchfest, and StART on The Street in (Worcester, MA) festivals, among others, and at many famous music venues, including The Lizard Lounge in Boston and Nietzsche’s in Buffalo. They have also played in legendary nightspots such as Ghenghis Cohen in LA, and The Stone Church in New Hampshire. They were also artists in residence at Fury’s Publick House, and Blue in Portland, Maine.

The Womps has performed or collaborated with Ben Taylor, John Forte, Tyler Adams (The Jauntee), The Rumpke Mountain Boys, Hawthorne Heights, Pitti Hecht, and Stu Kimball.
Their latest release, Mad Science, is a live studio album that exemplifies just one of the many ways of how each song takes form on journeys of careening color.
