It’s the birthplace of Superman, where a chocolate maker dreamt up LifeSavers candy, and the place responsible for the invention of alkaline batteries and golf balls. It’s no wonder, then, that the members of the band — Michael LoPresti, Matthew LoPresti, Mark Porostosky Jr., and Ryan Walker — have embraced their hometown’s DIY spirit and taken it to heart. Since self-releasing their first two albums (2009’s The Lighthouse and the Whaler, 2012’s This Is An Adventure), the band has made a name for itself internationally, moving from coffee shop tours to renowned venues. In the process, The Lighthouse and the Whaler has grown from a folk-leaning group into a fully-realized band that blurs genres and continues to reinvent. The results of this tireless pavement-pounding and soul-searching speak for themselves: millions of streams for the then-unsigned band’s songs “Pioneers” and “Venice,” and tours with artists like Ra Ra Riot, Matt Pond PA, and Jukebox The Ghost.<br /><br />http://thelighthouseandthewhaler.com<br /><br />CREDITS / SPONSORS <br /><br />Producer/Talent Booker: Cindi Avnet <br />Videographer: Travis Keaster<br />Recorded/Mixed By: Art Martinez <br />Production Assistant: Lydia Reed <br />Photography: Johanna Rossler<br /><br />Tune in again to BalconyTV //
