Western Lights Band

Western Lights is one of several exciting bands that will be performing at Burke’s Junction shopping center in Cameron Park just off Cameron Park Drive by Hwy50 on Saturdays from August through October.  Music will be from about 4 to 6 pm.  The shopping Center has a new look and feel with 22 shops and restaurants. With all new paint, benches, landscaping, and newly paved parking lot, Burke's Junction is looking better than ever. 

Western Lights has been a performing band in the Sacramento area for 12 plus years.  Their music has strong roots in traditional bluegrass and gospel music featuring three and four part harmony vocals and banjo, fiddle, mandolin and guitar as primary lead instrumentation.  The group also enjoys diversity in their music performing Western Swing and other related music styles.

 

Here is how others have described Western Lights and their CD, "Favorites of Ours".

 

"Favorites Of Ours is mellow; it’s smooth; and it’s just great listening!  It is filled with traditional favorites that run the gamut from bluegrass to gospel, western swing to old timey, and fiddle tunes to country blues, all thoughtfully performed by great musicians."  -Larry Kuhn, Editor, Sacramento Area Bluegrass News

 

"The Bluegrass and Western Swing played by Western Lights will have you tapping your toes and wishing the café Espresso had a dance floor."  -Borders, December 2000 News and Local Events
