History

ilyAIMY was originally inspired by a four-member musical ensemble called "i love you And I MIss You" formed in the mid-1990s, with members rob Hinkal, William Schaff, Carin Wagner (now Sloan), and Sonny Roelle, all of whom were students at the Maryland Institute College of Art. The band released a two-cassette (90 minutes each) collection of songs, and it recorded another that was not released.

ilyAIMY was formed in 1999.[2] The band released its first album under the name ilyAIMY in 2003.[1] Heather Aubry Lloyd joined the band in the summer of 2001. Rowan Corbett and Sharif Kellogg joined around 2003. Kristen Jones joined in 2009. Joey Jenkins joined around 2017.

The band, primarily in the form of Hinkal and Lloyd, has toured the country since September 1, 2003.

The band is known for its high-energy blend of folk, jazz, rock, soul, and blues.[3]
