Bond University's successful free music series continues, presenting local favourites The Lamplights on Sunday 28 August.

The Lamplights' lead vocalist Ryan Gittoes is emerging as one of Queensland's great front men. Jason McGregor, well known guitarist and current Australian Fingerstyle Guitar Champion, and sublime slide guitarist Ashley Perrow provide the foundation for band's sound. Add to this the percussive groove of Mike Easterman and Mattie Barker on bass and you've got The Lamplights' irresistible folk, funk, jazz/blues sound.

 

Providing entertainment through memorable musical moments is what this band does best. There is an honest feel to The Lamplights' music that stems from their connection to the community. They perform regularly, lo-fi style, at Gold Coast markets and gain a whole lot of joy from bringing people together through music.

 

The band often invite special guests and may appear with up to a seven piece line-up including horns, keys, bass and percussion. With a long list of festival appearances, a busy performance schedule and airplay in 11 European countries, The Lamplights are a must-see live act!

 

Supporting act:  Bond University staff band, Redglo.
