Like the city of New Orleans and “the tangled veins of cypress roots that meander this way and that in the swamp” the final sets of the Pretty Lights tour were “interrelated, wrapped around itself in ways that aren’t always obvious.”

Channeling the spirit of Dr. John and New Orleans itself, the Pretty Lights team threw a party befitting for the end of such a historic tour; once again paying massive respects to regional musical legends by swirling the likes of Louis Armstrong, Lil Wayne, and The Meters while also integrating live horns (provided by The Soul Rebels) with the band for the first time since the days of the Analog Future Band. 

While we are saddened that the tour has finally ended, we can’t help but look towards the future full of optimism as Pretty Lights continues to appear on prominent music festival lineups. The renaissance tour is over, but the future of Pretty Lights is just about to begin. We’ll see you there!
