Lily Vakili

Live Wire EP

Independent
May 8, 2026

Lily Vakili follows up “Oceans of Kansas” with the “Live Wire EP” out May 8. The first single at radio on March 20 is “Anybody Knows,” which captures the yearning of waiting for a lover to return. “The room is empty when they’re gone, complete when they return,” says Vakili. “I wanted to write about this kind of small, interior moment (waiting for a lover to come home) and have it occupy an entire song.” Produced by Reed Turchi, the album also features Eric Burns on guitar (Super Yamba Band, Robert Finley), Joseph Yount on drums (Super Yamba Band), and Drew Hart on bass (The National Reserve).

      Lily Vakili “Oceans of Kansas” radio tracks

      Preview and Download the latest Lily Vakili radio tracks from Oceans of Kansas, released October 17, 2025 on Independent. First two singles from Oceans of Kansas album coming this fall. "Okoboji" is a great track for summer fun, especially if you're near Okoboji itself on the Iowa / Minnesota border, or any similar lake-based community. "Tannersville" is named for a village in the NY Catskills and leads with a killer guitar solo by Eric Burns, who I have seen a few times around NYC with the Super Yamba Band.

        Lily Vakili “Okoboji” on WFUV NY Slice June 12, 2025

        Lily Vakili is such a longtime favorite of WFUV’s NY Slice daily local artist feature, that “Okoboji” was the featured track on its single release date (6/12/2025).

        Host Alisa Ali introduced the track with the endorsement, “Lily Vakili is one of my favorite local artists.” Her songs have appeared in this feature a few times, credited either as Lily Vakili, the solo artist, or as Vakili Band, the band, who recently performed at a WFUV NY Slice live show.

        Besides where it sits on the MN/IA border, 200 miles southwest of Minneapolis, you can also find “Okoboji” on the official WFUV NY Slice Spotify playlist.
