An Evening with LIGHTS

A few months ago, my friend, Breanne, called me to shoot some promos since she was going to be in town with Owl City. I kindly obliged, shot some promos, and then that evening went to the show where Paper Route and LIGHTS opened up for her band, Owl City.

In 2009, I had the chance to see LIGHTS in a room of 150 with Copeland, Lovedrug, and Lydia. My friends and I were obviously impressed with the lineup. The artist we didn’t really expect to see again was LIGHTS. It wasn’t that we were not impressed (rather the opposite), but simply stated, we just didn’t know she was on the rise. Her music at the time was average, her band wasn’t as showy as the other three artists, and the biggest reason why guys raised an eyebrow was because of her “cuteness”.

Fast forward. 2010. A different story. With a crowd of 2000+ and on tour lined up to open directly for Owl City, we find LIGHTS. Her show was immensely better. Her band was tighter, the songs were better, and she had obviously worked hard to get where she was.

If you have never listened to LIGHTS, I think you should check her out, buy her records, and then catch a live show.

Also worth noting, LIGHTS is her legal name (ask to see her driver’s license).

Here’s some photos of her performance:
