Pop-folk music for the soul
Your friends, but with instruments
Close your eyes and dive into melodies as layered, vaguely Irish, and delightfully eccentric as The Lights band members themselves.
We write songs to help us understand life. We love making music because it makes us feel more connected to each other. We hope it does the same for you!
Live at The Burren, Cambridge MA July 2024
