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.
Available on CD and download now!!!
I can not quantify how great I feel after performing the first act of Ghost Light!… And now we have procured the exact same date next year, October 16th, for the finale! Here is a photo in case you need to catch up!

A new beginning is at hand! My newest album, a concept record about ghosts that abide in The Grand Theatre is set to be released and performed in all its theatrical glory on October 16th, 2025!
We have several new characters as well as some repeat offenders taking the stage with me. Multiple voices shall be heard, not just my own, this also includes Light Treason's first real backing band! I cannot tell you how absolutely giddy I am to share this with whoever wants to listen!
Hello, world.
After seven years of performing under the moniker, it seems as if this would be the right time to launch a website. Got to get it made before we hit 2020, am I right? Hindsight will be judges of us all. I look forward to putting some more music out into the world by the end of the year. This is the one New Year's resolution I have ever cared to complete. Here is to new things!
Guilelessly,
Ronan
