Author of hundreds of original tunes in the folk, honky tonk, and sea shanty veins, Lightnin’ has been wowing New England audiences for five decades. He also picks guitar with a number of prominent ensembles: Booze Beggars (bar rock), Starfish Enterprise (surf), Deux (folk duo), and the Mai Tai Serenaders (traditional Hawaiian). If Lightnin’ is strapping on the guitar, it’s bound to be a rip-roarin’ good time.
