Western Lights has evolved and grown as a band since it's modest beginning as friends who first got together to jam some 15 years ago. There have been a number of changes along the way but one this has been a constant: great friends having a ball playing the music we love!
We feel our music is somewhat unique among "Bluegrass Bands". The music we love is a great mix of straight ahead, hard driving Bluegrass and classic Western Swing that we feel would make both Bill Monroe and Bob Wills proud! We also love the old clasic country songs that legendary artists like Merle Haggard and Hank Williams did. From those fundamental music styles and artists near and dear to our hearts, Western Lights has developed its own unique sound and style while always trying to honor the Masters who brought this wonderful music to us all.
We have recorded 2 CD's, "Favorites of Ours" in 1999 and our most recent CD "Bob Played Here!" in 2008. Have a listen to the songs we have on our site from both of these CD's!
For those of you not on MySpace, you can drop us a line at my e-mail address: wardclan@comcast.net. Let us know what you think of our music. Best Wishes, Bill and all the Western Lights!
One more thing I just have to share, I was blessed with three beautiful children with a music passion and talent who are guest artists on Bob Played Here! My oldest son Jimmy does a twin guitar break with me on “Milk Cow Blues”. My lovely daughter Jennifer and I sing together on the wonderful gospel song “Daniel Prayed” and my youngest son Steven does a sweet guitar break on “Lonesome Jailhouse Blues”. Each of these songs is on our MySpace song list to sample. Hope you enjoy these as well! Bill

Cool. I'm still not sure what we are doing yet, but keep me posted, please! :) If we don't make it for Easter, we will come over another day. We don't want to run all around to a bunch of different places in one day. Thanks! Love you too!
