LISTEN TO A TRACK FROM THE NEW BAND, THIS WHITE LIGHT
In March 2017, Greg Anderson and Jade Devitt began to make music with one another again, having previously played together in the nineties as Engine Kid. Starting with the formula of extreme dynamics that they had perfected in the years previous as Engine Kid, the pair have added their 20+ years of musical experience, and taken the music in a new and different direction. Chance encounters and serendipitous moments fortified the final line up of This White Light with the addition of Bryan Herweg and Jen Wood.
This White Light explore the contrast of darkness & light. Their music is delicate when called for, powerful when necessary.
This White Light are:
Jen Wood-Voice
