The Band

Northern Lights is a five-piece that started playing together in 2024.

Their first show had about 20 people in the room. Over the next year, they played five shows around Chicago, using each one to sharpen their sound and figure out the kind of live band they wanted to become.

In September 2025, Northern Lights opened for Red Leather at Beat Kitchen, a night that marked an important step forward for a band still building things show by show.

Since then, they’ve kept writing, recording, and pushing their sound forward, balancing heavy guitars, melody, groove, and live shows that are raw and real.

In 2026, Northern Lights released new music including “Nonstop” and “Think of 2,” and spent October on the road with Red Leather on the TAHOE World Tour: 11 nights from St. Paul to Philadelphia. See the recap.

Now they’re back in Chicago finishing JUNE, their first album.

Midwest roots. Chicago home base. Still building it one show at a time.
