The Lamplights

The Lamplights’ profile has risen steadily since their formation at the end of 2009 with the release of a debut EP, a full length album, live radio performances and a full booking schedule of sought after shows. Ryan Gittoes (vocals), Jason McGregor (guitar)and Ashley Perrow (acoustic lap slide guitar) share a firm belief that quality songs form the foundation of quality performances. Their sound has been described as an organic blend of funk and folk, served with a side of blues, sprinkled liberally with jazz and dished up with a whole lot of heart. The Lamplights are aware that it’s when they’re having a good time on stage that the audience really engages and they endeavour to play music for the sheer joy of it rather than to simply perform for the benefit of others. Ironically, it’s this humble and heartfelt sentiment that attracts the crowds. The obvious pleasure the trio get from making their music draws people in like the soft glow of a warm lamplight on a cold, damp night. Their debut full length release The Lamplights is due out in November 2010 and will be available at shows, on iTunes and through Cdbaby.com.
