Vashon Johnson’s First Light Band brings a high-powered fusion sound rooted in deep groove, bold improvisation, and world-class musicianship. Led by Chicago bassist and composer Vashon Johnson, whose career spans performances with global icons such as Miley Cyrus, Madonna, Mary J. Blige, Whitney Houston, Joan Jett, Shania Twain, Boyz II Men, Ariana Grande, B.B. King, the Broadway production of The Lion King, and the Saturday Night Live Band, First Light channels his versatility and commanding musical presence into a tight, electrifying trio experience. Known for his chameleon-like ability to shape-shift through genres, Vashon drives the band with richness, power, and sophistication.

Joining him are two standout Chicago musicians: Charles Heath, an explosive drummer celebrated for his work with Ramsey Lewis, Donald Byrd, Bobby Broom, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and the Chicago Jazz Orchestra, and Dale Prasco, a modern fusion guitarist whose soaring lines and fearless rock-jazz hybrid approach give the trio its edge and fire. Together, this lineup forms a high-octane fusion trio—adventurous, rhythmically potent, and musically magnetic. First Light delivers a performance that’s both artistically refined and deeply energetic, making them a dynamic and compelling booking for any venue seeking an unforgettable night of modern fusion.
