The Band

It starts with five voices in a room.

Formed in 2021, The Lights are a five-piece band from Boston, Massachusetts. Drawing on folk, rock, and Americana influences, they make music that gathers people — songs built slowly in a room together until something real happens. Their self-titled EP came out in 2024, and their first full-length record, No Need for Talking, is on its way in the spring of 2026.

The Workshop

This is
the Workshop.

Most weeks, we're in the Workshop — an old outbuilding we reclaimed so we'd have a place to make music. High ceilings, wood floor, enough space to be loud. Songs start there as something loose and become something real.

Workshop Radio
Workshop Radio

Live from the Workshop. Most weeks something gets recorded — a rough take, an early idea, a song still finding itself, or an older song being brought back to life.
