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!
