The Nashville duo, Elenowen visit the Lightning 100 studio before they headline Miller Made Music at Tin Roof Nashville. Click here to see photos from the show! Elenowen performs their new single “No Such Thing as Time” in the Lightning 100 studio for the first time! Josh Johnson explains how the song differs from their previous songs. Elenowen brings some Christmas cheer to the Lightning 100 studio by performing the song “White Christmas“. We know it’s after the holidays, but it really is a great version of “White Christmas”. Click here to watch both videos!
Happy Christmas!! And welcome to the Retro Lightning Christmas Special! Today, we’re remembering some holiday classics from yesteryear’s Progressive Rock artists. Some of these songs you continue to hear year after year. But hopefully today, we’ll pull out some rare musical memories to really get you into the holiday spirit! I hope you enjoy the show. — Fred
