Lighten Up!,
another of
our personal favorites.
You're guaranteed a good time and some great blues. And other great
stuff, too!
Randy and Rose Light have been playing
the blues for the past seven years in Northeastern Pennsylvania as
Lighten Up! The band plays their own unique mix of covers. Willie Dixon,
Magic Slim, Muddy Waters, and Jimmy Reed are among some of their
favorites.
Rose Light’s powerful vocals
approach justice toward Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin. Randy is noted
for his personal connection with the audience, talking, dancing and
incorporating the people present into the show. Randy and Rose both have
roots as street musicians, however decades later they have played in
many community celebrations, festivals, night clubs and private
affairs.
The band is noted for variety, however
the blues has found it’s way to the foundation of feeling. Randy and
Rose played rock, country and blues in Athens, Ohio for eight years
before moving to PA. They have played with numerous side personnel,
always keeping an amazing array of talent alive in the band. In 2002, the band played the Northeast Pennsylvania Blues
Society Festival, the Annual Wallenpaupack Lake Cardboard Boat Race, and
The Wallenpaupack Lake Estates 4th of July Event. Lighten Up! has
also been chosen to perform at the Scranton/Wilkes Barre Blues
Association's Rock'N Blues Fest to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation on
July 19th, 2003. Get out and see this band, and dig some quality
blues.
Playlist
This isn't a blues
playlist per se, it's a partial list of the band's range of styles. When we
attend
their club performances, they're doing the blues/classic rock -
depending upon the venue
and tastes of the attending audience. This
band can cover all the bases
very well!
