$15 / $5 under 18

This incomparable group of musicians played together for years in different bands, including PossumHaw and The Blugrass Gospel Project. Now, they bring a new/old sound and a new band to the Grange!

Marsh Lights explores folk and alt-grass music with a hyper-literate edge and beautiful execution. Their new songs explore bravery, darkness, spirituality, and grace with lyrics that often employ metaphoric places, drawing on specific imagery to tap into universal human experiences, often with female heroes and perspectives. Lead vocalist Colby Crehan is well-known as the lead singer The Bluegrass Gospel Project and was voted Vermont Vocalist of the Year.

Stunning past performances by The Bluegrass Gospel Project and PossumHaw have included appearances at festivals and venues that reached thousands of audience members around the Northeast. Marsh Lights strong rapport, built over years of performing together, makes for a band that can go light and heavy, solemn and joyful, fast and slow.

Colby is joined by her husband, Ryan Crehan, who provides warm harmony vocals and banjo playing that is sometimes plaintive and other times hard-driving.

Also on the stage is Charley Eiseman, long-time friend and musical collaborator. Charley plays lead acoustic guitar with nuanced blues and jazz inflections and adds his warm vocals to the mix. 

Stephen Waud brings amazing mandolin chops to the stage and Mitch Barron, a long-time essential presence in the Vermont folk music scene, brings his skilled upright bass playing and rich vocals to round out the group.
