Lucky you Boise! The Lower Lights are coming to town!!!

I am so excited! This Friday, March 4th, The Lower Lights are performing here in Boise. (Burbank, WA on the 5th and in Spokane on the 6th.) If you haven't heard of this band, you need to catch up. The Lower Lights are an incredible non-denominational hymn revival band. They take lovely old hymns, some popular and some forgotten, and perform them in a celebratory way to take them to a whole new personal experience. I was hooked when I heard their rendition of "For the Beauty of the Earth". And There is a Green Hill Faraway is breathtaking. I love to have hymns in my home, and hearing them performed in this folk music style just makes me happy. I hope someday to hear them all signing around a campfire, joined with my children dancing around me. But for now, I'll be taking Lydia to the show on Friday. It's a great activity for the whole family. You can buy tickets here.


You can listen to some of the music on their site here. And check out some video of the band in full swing here. Not lucky enough to live nearby a concert? You can order the CD here. Yay! I love to see people coming together in the love of music. Especially talented people. :)

Anyone seen the Lower Lights live? What did you think? Any other great new bands you guys recommend? I'm just getting back into the music scene and I'm behind!

Ooo, I LOVE the Lower Lights! Probably not much of a chance of them coming to the South though :( At least I have the CD.

Our good friend is in the band and introduced us to their music a while back. Woo-hoo, go Dominic!!! They are amazing. Such a good CD gift for friends of all faiths. Enjoy the show :) P.S. He is also in a band called The Lower West and they have a very similar sound. Check it out.

I stumbled across your blog recently, and although I haven't commented yet, I've really been enjoying going through your older posts, as well as reading the new ones as they're posted. Now, as for today, I have to tell you that I had not heard of this group, but I immediately bought this CD after listening to the samples (and will probably download a few mp3s so that I can survive until the CD gets here!) Thank you so much for the post!!

Thanks Natalie!! You are awesome. You will have a great time at the show. Say hi to George for me when he's up there on the bass. :)

If you haven't heard them yet, definitely check out the Civil Wars. I think their album is on sale for $5 this month on amazon. You're sure to love them! I'll have to check out this band! Sounds right up my alley.
