Bio
​
Born in Toledo, OH, Steven Mullan created Thunder Lily in 2015 as a garden of musical exploration and a space to enjoy being himself. Early on he adventured alongside friend and visionary producer Owen Lewis on synths and drum machines to create the foundations that led to his first release Stay With You and a surrealist EP, Visitor. In 2020 he released Volume One, a fantasy adventure album comprised of field recordings from another planet. Unedited piano improvisations and synth-driven dance singles followed, along with his second album, Volume Two — a study of sound and color frequency. Thunder Lily’s recent tours include opening for Delta Rae and Pip The Pansy and his next batch of songs is in the works. He currently lives in a fixer upper in Nashville with his wife, fellow artist Brittany Hölljes, their daughter Samson, and giant dog, Torino.​​​

It’s weird, it’s random, and it’s completely unique.

In a year of tension and anxiety, Volume One succeeds in its ability to paint a tranquil soundscape not only through its production, but also through its lyrical content centered around mindfulness and self-care.

...when opener Thunder Lily came on stage to tune his guitar someone from the crowd yelled “We feel as awkward as you do!”. I was not ready for the response: “The first song will be me tuning my guitar…..we are on the second verse……here’s the chorus”.
