Colorado’s Pretty Lights was the project of Derek Vincent Smith. Smith spent his high school years making hip-hop and ultimately dropped out of his freshman year at the University of Colorado at Boulder to focus on his music. He made his recorded debut as Pretty Lights in 2006 with the full-length Taking Up Your Precious Time, which he supported with gigs for acts including STS9, the Disco Biscuits, and Widespread Panic.
Taking a conceptual approach to the summer, Derek Vincent Smith is curating a festival series of his own, Pretty Lights Live: An Episodic Festival. The producer’s own five-part event, began this month in New Hampshire, followed at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre and is set for upcoming weekends in Colorado, Chicago, and Nashville. Having carefully selected cities for Episodic this fall, Pretty Lights sets his sights on Santa Barbara.
