Trevor's Lightning Project

Based in Lexington, KY, Trevor's Lightning Project emerged with humble beginnings in house shows and community projects. They have grown to become a well known and highly anticipated act throughout the region's psychedelic and alternative music scenes. With friends describing them as "post-modern art rock", their eclectic sound and subversive lyrics certainly fit the bill, and their music feels right at home on playlists alongside neo-psych, indie, progressive, jazz and post-punk artists alike. The current lineup features Micah Birch (of Super Earth) on guitar and vocals, Elijah Pike on bass, sax, and backing vocals, Jon Davis on keys and synth, Tyler (of Seahags) on drums, and a silent sixth member, the enigmatic Trevor, their muse.

The boys blend genres like John Stith Pemberton mixing up the original recipe for Coca-Cola, except they leave the cocaine in. TLP's signature sound can turn on a dime, with wailing guitar solos and brutal fuzzed out chaos fracturing into soft, intimate melodies singing of some far away land, some long lost lover. Their colorful live performances, through the collaboration with Liquified Light Show, have been packing out local venues and are known to induce ecstatic experiences within the audience. Many concert-goers have found themselves haunted by visions which they cannot understand. Visions of unity, oneness, and unconditional love. The mysticism and lore runs deep in their hometown, with wild rumors and occasional Trevor sightings, it can be difficult to tell the difference between fiction and truth.

With composer and producer Micah Birch at the helm, the band takes it's studio recording to a level of depth that few others dare to attempt. Each song, a sonic representation of countless studio hours, refining arrangements and striving towards a collage of sound that could be described in spiritual terms. The boys prove adept at spinning elaborate constellations of tone into easily digestible tracks that groove along with catchy melodies and lavish accompaniments. Their studio wizardry is on full display in their Sept. 2025 release - Let's Light This Up and Pretend We Came Out to Smoke It, calling back to the symphonic productions of the 1960s, intertwined with a neo-psych temperament. It touches upon a kaleidoscope of genres spanning over the course of the last century, in a marriage of both antiquated and cutting edge technologies. Fact is, TLP is a band that doesn't take shortcuts. They reject compromise and eschew the easy way out. They insist their fans get nothing less than a genuine experience in each new release. A product of ascetic devotion to music, ensuring that what lies at the focal point is cosmic inspiration. If you find yourself curious about these types of experiences, perhaps even seeking it out, we implore you - put on the old headphones, close your eyes, and hit play on our latest EP. Trevor will take care of the rest...
