Lighting Matches is an alternative-rock band based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Made up of musicians with a variety of musical backgrounds, Lighting Matches stays true to their roots while also setting fire to the lines and limitations of genre labels.
Fronted by dynamic duo Matt Plessner and Rachel White, and backed by the talented Mark Jilbert and Scott Garrison, their music displays lots of what they are best known for: thought-provoking lyrics and tight harmonies.
