Artist Information

Biography

White Lightning’s MAIN GOAL: Create fresh music and produce a compelling live show that is entertaining to watch, engaging to listen to, and memorable to all.

White Lightning is a hard-working Edmonton based band that is dedicated to their craft. They were recently dubbed Band of the Month on Sonic 102.9fm and their current single Satisfaction is climbing the Canadian rock charts. They are currently nominated for 5 Edmonton Music Awards and hold previous nominations in the EMA’s and AMA’s. White Lightning has had the privilege of sharing the stage with popular acts Sublime, CCR, Daniel Wesley, among many others. They have also had success in a few reputable battle of the band competitions such as the TEAM 1260 radio contest, Alberta’s Last Band Standing, and Futuresfest (where they took 1st place with only their second show ever).

White Lightning is currently celebrating the release of their debut full-length album “See It All” and had the privilege to recreate the album live to a sold out crowd. The album incorporates full choral and stomp pieces, sounds recorded in a 30,000 bushel grain bin, a featured remix of their first single, and a smooth flow of feel from energetic indie-rock to peaceful inspiring melodies.

Along with the excitement of White Lightning’s new album, there is a lot of buzz around their live show. A typical show for WL is filled with kazoos, trash-cans, megaphones, beat boxing, strong musicality, and much much more. They have earned a reputation among Canadian music lovers as some of the most entertaining performers in the West.

White Lightning will continue to rock and inspire the world with Peace Love and Lightning.

  White Lightning... is a nice breath of fresh air. They have an easy and confident stage presence, and some really catchy rock songs. What I mean by that is there songs have memorable MELODIES, which flow logically from section to section-- yay, isn’t that what all the classic rock hits are about, and why people, say, recognize one song from another? White Lightning demonstrate that this is not at all a lost art form.
  Plus, it’s nice to see that a band in the indie rock genre isn’t so negative or shoe gazing that they can’t make fun of themselves a bit, but in an easy going, non-dark manner—enough that our blue collar, straightforward city isn’t alienated by their any overly sophisticated pretension, but enough to know that they’re actually smart boys who are pretty good at playing their instruments and writing good rock songs, and like to have fun at the same time.
  It sounds simple, but if it was, everybody would be doing it. In the meantime, at least some new bands, White Lightning among them, are. I’m glad to be part of a city where this is happening.
