Today, Ghost Light, the highly anticipated new project from Tom Hamilton, Holly Bowling, Steve Lyons, Raina Mullen, and Scotty Zwang, added to their already extensive lists of tour dates in March and April of 2018. In addition to one new show on March 31st in Seattle, WA, the band also announced seven new dates in May, including a three-night run across Colorado’s Front Range. The May dates will also see Ghost Light travel to Chicago, IL; Grand Rapids, MI; Ann Arbor, MI; and Cleveland, OH.

EXCLUSIVE: Tom Hamilton & Holly Bowling Talk New Band, Ghost Light, & The Grateful Dead

Live For Live Music spoke to Tom Hamilton and Holly Bowling about Ghost Light and more aboard last month’s Jam Cruise. Hamilton had the following to say about Ghost Light’s forthcoming debut album (due out during the second half of 2018) and how the record will differ from the group’s live shows:

What the record is going to be is not like what the live show is going to be. An album is a statement, you know? It’s a document and snapshot of a particular moment in time, so we have that hat on. But when it comes to taking that album and bringing it into the live arena, that’s when we turn ourselves back into the improvisers that we all are. We get to really see what these songs can do and where they can go and how they can change and grow—and this is with all the music that we’ll play. Whatever it is, whether it’s just the songs on the record or any other music we play, it’s all gonna be ‘whatever happens.’ We just want to out there and try to do something beautiful and interesting every night.
