BIO
Lilac War is an indie-folk project led by songwriter Nic Maoury, blending lush strings, layered harmonies, and cinematic textures into heartfelt, story-driven songs. Since emerging from Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley in 2017, Lilac War has evolved from a bedroom-folk act into a full-band performer, with releases including the debut EP The Lavender, the singles Caroline and Winchester, and the LP Living Through a Defined Space. Now based in the DMV area, Lilac War continues to bring warm, immersive folk storytelling to audiences across the region.
