Light In The Black is a Classic Hard Rock / Metal band hailing from Nashville, Tennessee.
Vocalist Charlie Kavanagh, Bassist Tony Nagy, and the Simmons brothers, Mike and Paul on guitar and drums respectively, are Rock-N-Roll veterans from the ’80s and 90’s to the present day.
Years of touring and recording have not dampened the spirit of these four musicians.
They love to play.
This is evident from the first note until the glowing amps are shut down at the end of the night. They take pride in playing killer, crowd-pleasing songs, executed flawlessly with an energy and spirit that takes you back to the concerts of another time.
If you like Deep Purple, Rainbow, Dio, Ozzy, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Priest, and the like….
You will love Light In The Black.

Light In The Black selects some of the member's favorite songs to cover for some shows and has a growing library of original material to choose from for others.
The best sets are a combination of both when appropriate for the theme of the show.

If you like Deep Purple, Rainbow, Dio, Ozzy, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Priest, and the like….
You will love Light In The Black.
