The Tillers originated from a group of friends thumping together with a couple of banjos, guitars, and a big wooden bass. Since they joined forces in 2007, they have been winning over the Cincinnati bar and festival scene. In 2009 they were awarded for Best Folk and American Act by Cincinnati Entertainment Award. The Seedy Seeds are back for another Tunes & Blooms bringing their infectious harmonies, amazing live performances and unforgettable pop hooks.
