About the National Lights

THE NATIONAL LIGHTS is the primary songwriting project of Jacob Thomas Berns. Assisted by the arrangements of Chris Kiehne (the Bland Allisons, Sonya Cotton), the National Lights' full-length debut, "The Dead Will Walk, Dear," sets out to forgive the past while compounding its wrongs. Stirred by the fiction of the American Gothic and the 1980s slasher film, "The Dead Will Walk, Dear" seeks solace where it is least deserved.

In 2006, Jacob Thomas moved to Richmond, Va. where he is currently writing and recording the National Lights' follow-up, entitled "Whom the Sea Will Keep," a collection of songs that features whaling ships, captains' daughters, and Joshua Slocum.
