Ghost Light has made serious waves in 2018. The newly formed project from Tom Hamilton, Holly Bowling, Raina Mullen, Scotty Zwang, and Steve Lyons is a force to be reckoned with, wowing audiences across the country with their next-level improvisations and already-stellar catalog of originals. With only 10 months as a band under their belts, Ghost Light impressively sold out multiple shows on their inaugural spring tour, based off of word-of-mouth buzz alone.
In May, Ghost Light made a stop at Boulder, CO’s Fox Theatre, offering up a standout two-set performance amidst their extensive inaugural tour. The quintet opened the show with “Best Kept Secret”, before working through improv-heavy renditions of “Leave The Light On” and “100 Years Ago”. In celebration of Holly Bowling’s birthday, the band sang “Happy Birthday” over the jam following “I Dare You”. After Ghost Light moved back into “Best Kept Secret”, the five-piece brought the first set to a close with a proper happy birthday singalong with the help of the rowdy Colorado crowd.
Following a brief set break, Ghost Light opened up the second set with “Head Over Heels”, before moving through “Nickles & Dimes” and “Bring It In Close”. “Lead Weight” followed, which featured “Head Over Heels” and “Slipknot!” teases. The band then whipped out “Streets Of Brooklyn”, before sandwiching the tune and finishing their second set with the ending of “Lead Weight”. “The Wild One” served as the evening’s encore.
Luckily for fans, Ghost Light has released another edition of their “Full Show Friday,” featuring their performance from the Fox Theatre in Boulder, CO on May 11th, 2018. Listen to the full-show audio below:
