The Lightkeepers were the 2016 Syracuse Area Music Award winners for Best New Artist and the group hit their full stride in 2018.

They are poised to launch onto the international music scene in the coming year. Their album “Talking Man’s Blues” released in the fall of 2018 aims a spotlight on the band’s diverse influences while highlighting their unique style as they expand into new musical territory by weaving across traditional genres. The Lightkeepers knit a musical blanket of soul, funk, rock, jazzy blues and American roots.

“The members of The Lightkeepers share years of combined musical experience. Together, their collective talents create an original rock experience… And while their repertoire is predominantly original, they also offer their own readings on covered material… They create a unique sound derived of retro influences all mixed together in a new-fangled funky blender.”
