Lights Used to Shine is a Christmas-themed concert for all ages embracing the authentic spirit of the season with Canadian alternative-folk singers Sheree Plett and Jeremy Eisenhauer, who perform Dec. 4 at the Sasquatch.
Plett and Eisenhauer are married songwriters that have earned their keep playing music all over the continent for the past decade. Their harmonies blend traditional alt-country with modern folk, collaborating the great sounds of the past, with new innovation and depth.
Vancouver was home for the couple and their three kids until the mystical mountains of the Kootenays called them east where they now reside. They have eight albums under their collective belt, two of which are Christmas-themed, featuring a heavy dose of their own originals.
Over the last eight years, it has been a family tradition to brave the winter roads, put on some good winter tires and head out on a Christmas tour. Their entourage has grown as this will be the first tour they embark on with their third child in tow.
Their hope is to engage listeners with an authentic look at the meaning of Christmas, with its warmth and joy, but also with it's realism and mystery. In song, the duo intends to entice an oblique reflection on the season, and allow a new understanding of what it is that seems to keep drawing us back into its joyful depths.
Tickets are available in advance at Buffalo Trails Coffee House, Black Bear Books or Kingfisher Used Books, or at the door, which opens at 6 p.m.; the show starts at 7.
