ABOUT US

Overview

Lights Out By 8 is a 5-member band from the DC/Northern Virginia area that covers your favorite pop and rock hits. Known for their engaging stage presence and energetic performance, Lights Out is well-versed in - and available for - both public and private events.

Origins

With humble beginnings in the birthplace of all great bands - a basement - our group would frequently extend practices into the late evening. Inevitably, one of Nick's roommates requested a "lights out" policy moving forward, where all auxiliary noise would be turned off by 8pm.

Just like that, Lights Out By 8 was born.
