Big Sky City Lights to perform Saturday in Port Ludlow

PORT LUDLOW — Big Sky City Lights will perform at Port Ludlow Performing Arts’ Champagne season opener at 7 p.m. Saturday.

The performance will be at the Bay Club, 120 Spinnaker Place, Port Ludlow.

Tickets are $35 per person at www.portludlow performingarts.com. Season tickets also are available.

The indie duo is composed of Montana-based Nick Spear and New York City-based Susan O’Dea.

The pair met while working with Alpine Theater Company in Montana then, during the COVID-19 pandemic, they began singing cover songs together on a virtual platform.

“Nick and I had been friends for many years doing theater together, and I reached out, asking if he wanted to do a virtual musical project,” O’Dea said.

O’Dea would sit in her bathtub, as it was the quietest place in her apartment, and record her vocal tracks, and Spear would record his vocal tracks in his home studio in Montana, then they would edit the tracks together.

“It was a point where we could connect with each other, and we had been involved with some bands on that side of things,” Spear said.

They released a few of their covers online and got a huge response.

“People really loved what we were doing, and we decided to keep doing it via virtual recording and YouTube,” O’Dea said. “It was fun, but we hope we never have to go back to recording like that.”

Big Sky City Lights will release an extended-play album, “A Mountain to Go,” in October.
