Pop-rock group The Band Light returns with their infectious new song “Dreamboat,” released today on Red Van Records. Written by band members Konnor Dolberry and Trevor Young, and produced by multi-platinum hitmaker John Fields (Jonas Brothers, Switchfoot, Demi Lovato), the track captures the messy magic of infatuation with lyrical bite and sonic sparkle. Listen below.
Fronted by Konnor Dolberry (lead vocals), alongside Jack Glenn (bass/vocals), Garrett Goodrich (lead guitar/vocals) and Trevor Young (drums/vocals), The Band Light formed through a high school music production class and quickly found undeniable chemistry both on and off the stage. Since then, they’ve built a dedicated fanbase and amassed over one million streams across platforms.
Built around a hypnotic groove and late-night confessions, “Dreamboat” captures the messy thrill of desire and emotional chaos. With lines like “So call me up / When we’re both drunk / And fill my cup / I’m all stirred up,” the song mixes raw vulnerability with tongue-in-cheek charm – an intoxicating cocktail of heartache and hookiness. Dolberry and Young blend their lyrical edge with crisp, shimmering production, giving “Dreamboat” a sound both familiar and new.
“‘Dreamboat’ lives in that blurry space between bad decisions and irresistible connection,” the band shares. “It’s equal parts moody and playful – something we think a lot of people can relate to.”
Fans can catch The Band Light live this summer at Musicians Corner in Nashville’s Centennial Park on June 13, joining a season lineup that includes Brittney Spencer, Noah Gundersen, Sixpence None The Richer and more. The group will also perform as special guests for Switchfoot on July 13 at the Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater in Illinois.
With “Dreamboat,” The Band Light continues to carve a distinct lane in the pop-rock landscape with infectious energy, sharp musicianship and irresistible charm.
The Band Light Debuts With Powerful Single "All I Need" Via Red Van Records
Rising pop-rock group The Band Light makes a bold entrance with their debut single “All I Need,” available now via Red Van Records. The track marks the group’s first release since signing with Red Van Records, Jonas Publishing Group and Jonas Group Entertainment in late 2024. Listen to the song below.
Produced by John Fields, the multi-platinum writer, producer and mixer known for his work with Switchfoot, Jonas Brothers, Jimmy Eat World and Demi Lovato, “All I Need” blends timeless rock influences with fresh, modern energy. Of the new music, Fields said, “I had a blast creating studio magic with TBL.”
Formed in Spring Hill, Tennessee, The Band Light – featuring Konnor Dolberry (lead vocals), Jack Glenn (bass/vocals), Garrett Goodrich (lead guitar/vocals) and Trevor Young (drums/vocals) – came together through a high school music production and quickly found chemistry both on and off stage. Since then, the band has amassed over one million streams on their independently released music and spent early 2024 touring across the country, opening for breakout acts Quarters of Change and New Hope Club.
“All I Need” was written backstage during a high school theater production by drummer Trevor Young, capturing the tension and introspection of growing up in a hyperconnected world. The song explores the relationship between youth and technology – personal yet universal in its message.
“Excited, determined, and grateful don’t begin to describe how I feel about this release,” says Young. “There’s a magic in this song that’s connected with our fans from day one. ‘All I Need’ was born out of a moment of real emotion and change, and we hope listeners feel that too. It represents a new chapter for us.”
With emotionally rich lyrics, soaring harmonies and a nostalgic sound that echoes the best of the ‘60s and ‘70s, The Band Light brings rock credibility and raw charisma to every note. “All I Need” is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting journey for the Nashville-based group.
