 Big news! The new Lower Lights album is ready for your listening pleasure. You can pre-order the album here. Ryan went to Nashville to have the cover artwork letterpressed at the famous Hatch Show Prints studio. It is beautiful. The tracks are amazing as always.

Get excited. You're going to love it.

in case you didn't know

The Lower Lights are playing their Christmas show, Thursday, December 15th, at the Salt Lake Masonic Temple.

I hear the venue is pretty amazing. Add the Lower Lights singing holiday songs... it should make for one killer night.

I hope I see you all there.

If you haven't heard the Christmas album yet... your holiday isn't complete. You can buy it here. I love it. The boys love it. We listen to it all day long.

friday night, the halls will sing

The Lower Lights are playing a show this Friday night, down in Provo at the Provo Library ballroom. Tickets are on sale here. You should come, bring a friend, a significant other, a kid or two (kids under three are free) and enjoy a night of good music, good mood and grab some killer dessert at this place on your way out (they are open until 11pm, boohyeah!).

See you all there.

the lower lights play

Ryan and The Lower Lights played again tonight at the Post Theater up in Salt Lake.

I love that even though I have been listening to this CD since it was in it's infant recording stages, and for months in the car with the boys, that seeing them play live can still gives me chills. The songs are so beautiful, and to have the dynamic of everyone up there at once, or least a great majority of them, really gives the whole thing quite a different presence.

Everyone sounded so great tonight - I hope you all get a chance to see them play together if you have not.

I have to thank my cute sister-in-law for taking the boys for me tonight, and to Grandma and Grandpa Leigh for picking them up when it took me so long to get home in the bad weather. Driving 30 miles per hour on the freeway makes for an insane drive home.

And I have to add a big thanks again to my friend Charlie - a true gentleman - for walking me to my car during the second set, so I didn't deliver this baby in the middle of the road while slipping on the ice and show.

What a great night.

hallelujah

the lower lights

The Lower Lights played their first fireside this Sunday down in Provo. It was a stellar evening... and best news of all, the CD is done and will soon be available for your listening pleasure.

For those who attended the strange 12 minute set at the Sandy Amphitheater (sorry), I will let you know when another fireside is being held, or when the CD release party will be.
