• More details about Lillian Mcveity

  Lillian Mcveity

  Lillian McVeity is a singer-songwriter and guitarist from the Far South Coast of New South Wales, creating music that blends alternative rock and folk into an intimate yet expansive sound. Inspired by the quiet beauty and rugged coastline of her home, her songs combine atmospheric guitars, layered harmonies, and emotionally driven songwriting with a rawness that feels both grounded and cinematic. After the release of her debut single “Hearts in December” — featured on Triple J Unearthed and praised for its emotional depth and polished sound — Lillian has continued to develop her sound through live performance and collaboration. Writing songs since the age of 13, her music explores themes of longing, self-discovery, and growing up, balancing vulnerability with powerful, dynamic arrangements. Now performing with a full band, Lillian is currently recording a debut album set for release in November. The upcoming record leans further into alternative rock while holding onto the warmth and storytelling roots of folk music, capturing the energy and chemistry of the band alongside the intimacy of her songwriting. She has recently performed at Cobargo Folk Festival and Wanderer Festival, and has supported artists including The Rubens and Alex Lloyd.
