History
Ghost Light was formed at the end of 2017 with two established mainstays in the jam band music scene, Tom Hamilton & Holly Bowling. The original assembly of the band occurred in a studio in Philadelphia, PA. This allowed the band to bond and grow through the music writing process. Unlike most Jam Bands, Ghost Light decided to start by recording an album before ever playing a live show. The band launched their first tour with a sold-out show in San Diego, CA and performed in over 25 venues across the United States throughout 2018.
In March 2019, original bassist Steve Lyons was replaced by Dan Africano from the band John Brown's Body.
