Just about the time when things start to quiet down on the farm for the evening, and the neighbors "hit the hay" for the night, windows start to rattle and the animals begin to wake to the blasts of music sounding out across the plain. A group of four brothers with sleep as the last thing on their minds begin to revise the atmosphere with a new energy.
Their humble beginnings as a band started with the blare of old beat up guitar amps, and the sounds of a piano, and the beat of an old rusty drum set, marking the start of a new era, the infant stages of a band now known as Lightswitch.
In the year 2001 they played their first gig in a local theater in the small town of Spring Valley WI, From there, they went on to play for churches, youth groups, and many local events, steadily gaining popularity.
The brothers worked hard at their music, and after much time and dedication, they came out with their first album self titled “Lightswitch”, released in the year of 2007.
In their more recent years, they have expanded their borders and are now performing nation-wide for events both large and small. Lightswitch had the opportunity of working with world renown producers Lynn Nichols and Tedd T. on their second full length album “Holding On”
The band has progressed over the years, and their desire to serve God through their music continually grows stronger each time they take the stage. The four brothers were home schooled and come from a large family of nine children. Known and loved by many people for being accessible and personable with fans, their goal is to help people of all ages realize that God loves them and has a plan for them, while encouraging them to live an uncompromised life for God, remaining true to Him in a very compromising world. The band's trend setting style of music and their gentle, yet uncompromising message of faith explains why this band has captured the ears and hearts of all ages, ethnicities and social statuses, playing to one of the most diverse audiences as independent band.
Lightswitch is becoming one of the most successful Christian indie bands in the USA. You can learn more about Lightswitch at www.LightswitchMusic.com
