“Light Treason blends verve, passion, and traditional folk into concept albums that truly stand on their own.”
Light Treason
Biography
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. Some attribute his sound akin to that of Bright Eyes, Sufjan Stevens, or Kevin Devine.
A veteran of Oregon Indie outfits Minute Hand Ballet and Allies From Nowhere, Ronan now performs under the moniker Light Treason when he is not producing and playing electric guitar with space rockers Sleep Millennium or paying tribute to David Bowie or Freddie Mercury on the big stage.
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 a lack of sobriety, hubris or even absence.
Light Treason is currently recording a multi-media concept album/musical about the ghosts that abide in The Grand Theatre.
