Tilly and the Wall

Tilly and the Wall is an indie pop group from Omaha, Nebraska. Their name originated from a children's book called Tillie and the Wall, written by Leo Lionni. They are particularly noted for having a tap dancer, Jamie Pressnall, instead of a drummer.

The band did a segment for season 39 of Sesame Street. Commenting to Gothamist, a New York City-themed blog, band keyboardist Nick White commented:

That was awesome. We went to the studio and filmed it with these really sweet kids that were all around three to six. We did the Alphabet Song and they had little t-shirts where they each had a different letter on the back in order. So one person would have A and B and the next would have C and D. And they would do the alphabet and would flip around as the alphabet jumped around.

White isn't very knowledgeable of the series; on his favourite Sesame Street character, "I don't know. I like the one in the trash can because we travel with a trash can too. We keep our maracas in it."
