Bright Lights

A melting pot of songwriters

In the crumbs of pop, rock, folk and indie, songwriters often sit alone at the writing table. Bright Lights Sessions brings them together in a vessel of cross-pollination and musical magic. After a day of inspiring jams, the stage of fun follows in the evening.

In this ecstatic sanctuary, different musicians bring their songs to each edition. Together with the backing band, new, brooding versions of their songs soon emerge.
