FRIENDS AND BANDMATES SINCE 2018, PAT AND TIM HAVE RACKED UP THOUSANDS OF HOURS TOURING AND PERFORMING ON STAGES ALL OVER THE WORLD. THEIR LOVE OF BLUES MUSIC FUELED THEIR EXPLOSIVE PERFORMANCES WITH GA-20, A THREE-TIME #1 BILLBOARD CHARTING BLUES BAND FROM BOSTON, MA. IN 2023, PAT AND TIM BEGAN CONNECTING OVER THEIR MUTUAL LOVE OF 70S ROCK N’ ROLL BANDS LIKE MOUNTAIN, THIN LIZZY, AND JAMES GANG. INSPIRED BY THIS ERA, PAT PROPOSED THE TWO WORK OUT SOME SONG IDEAS HE HAD BEEN PLAYING WITH. AT THE SAME TIME, TIM REVEALED TO PAT SOME PERSONAL LYRICS HE HAD HELD ONTO FOR YEARS. THE SONGWRITING CONNECTION WAS INSTANT AND UNIQUE. PAT AND TIM REALIZED THAT THIS WAS A NEW VENTURE, NOT STRICTLY BLUES AND NOT CONFINED TO ANY LANE OF CREATIVITY. THE TWO FLEW TO DENVER IN EARLY 2024 TO PUT THESE SOUNDS ON TAPE WITH FRIEND DYLAN BROWN AT THE HELM AS ENGINEER AND CO-PRODUCER. FROM THIS SESSION, CANYON LIGHTS WAS BORN.
