A Brief History of Light Treason
Light Treason is the brain child of Pacific Northwest based musician Ronan Baker. Hailing from the lonely position of solo, everything you hear is from the darkest corners of Light Treason’s mind. He is always in search of musical friends.
A fan of spoken word artists such as Sage Francis or Allen Ginsberg reading his seminal poem “Howl,” Light Treason attempts to thematically tie each album together with spoken vignettes to illustrate each separate offense that creates Light Treason, the act not the entity. Offenses that could range from hubris, a lack of sobriety, or even absence.
Light Treason's newest album "Ghost Light: Aperitif Mort" is a concept record about a fictional musical reunion and appearances from multifaceted ghosts. It will premiere on stage at Salem's Historic Grand Theatre in October 2025.
The treason may be light but the sentence is not.
