Downtown Huntsville, Inc. (DHI) is excited to welcome Lilly Hiatt to Huntsville as the headliner for this month’s 805 After Five event on June 20.

Hiatt is a singer-songwriter from Nashville, TN, renowned for her candid and heartfelt lyrics that resonate deeply with listeners. Daughter of acclaimed musician John Hiatt, she has carved out her own niche in the music world, blending elements of rock, country, and Americana to create a sound uniquely her own.

Her music often explores themes of personal growth, heartache, and resilience, drawing on her own life experiences with a raw and authentic voice. Hiatt’s critically acclaimed albums, such as "Trinity Lane" and "Walking Proof," showcase her talent for storytelling and her ability to connect emotionally with her audience. Opening for the event will be the Lana White Band, an engaging new artist in the country scene.
