Ghost Light began as the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Barrett Lindgren, and has evolved into a rockin’ quartet. Taking the intimacy of Lindgren’s rich confessional-style vocals and placing it in broad instrumental spaces, the band allows the musical experience to expand as its leader opens himself up to the audience. While the songs, in moments, take a traditional folky route, it has a depth exemplified by a layered instrumental approach that is set off by free-falling percussion. (BTW: Jarret Nathan is a beast on drums – sooooo good!) Ghost Light will be illuminating the stage at Kung Fu Necktie tonight opening for Northampton, Massachusetts native Jason Anderson, whose throwback soulful rock ‘n’ roll endears in its hearty delivery.
