biographical info
The New Lightweights are a brand new collective out of ever evolving Winnipeg, Manitoba music scene. Providing a meld of folk, pop and alt-country with a little peppering of soul for good measure. They show that when it comes down to it, music is really all about the beautiful subtleties. They may be new to each other and they may be new to you, but as individuals , Alexa Dirks(little boy boom, chic gamine,bow wowf), Ariel Posen (groovy moustache, le duo, retro rhythm review, ron paley band, ash koley, swunk), Ryan Voth(little boy boom, the dirty denominators, Willie Mack, The Danny Kramer Event Band) and Graham Issak(pop the trunk) have all been playing professionally in the Winnipeg scene for years now. Newly formed in December of 2008, The New Lightweights are inviting and fresh and they plan on bringing their warm and laid back sound to a venue near you...(meaning...a venue in Winnipeg...so if you don't already live near Winnipeg...consider moving?...maybe??) 2009......GO!
