Resident Lightweight 

Resident Lightweight is a NYC based folk duo comprised of singer-songwriters Ali Louis Bourzgui and Joey D’Amore. Both hailing from Massachusetts, they combine elements of nature with acoustic folk, bluegrass, jazz and storytelling. Their upcoming debut (concept) album Becomes A Home is part album, part soundscape. The listener is placed center stage, becoming the protagonist of the journey. The album takes place in a house, a physical representation of returning to a childhood home and searching for answers to a past gone too fast. Becomes A Home asks the question of what “home” means as you grow through life. How it defines our past, how we attempt to find new versions of it in the present, and how it informs our decisions for the future.
