Bright Eyes, spearheaded by Conor Oberst, is an enduring force in the music scene since their humble beginnings in an Omaha basement in 1995. Known for their soul-touching songs that unravel the personal and political chaos of life, their work still rings true decades later. 2020 marked significant anniversaries for several of their seminal albums, notably their anti-war masterpiece “I’m Wide Awake It’s Morning”. After the release of their ninth album, “The People’s Key” in 2011, the band took a hiatus, with members Oberst, Mike Mogis, and Nathaniel Walcott pursuing other ventures. Mogis produced records for acclaimed folk acts, and together with Walcott, composed scores for several films. Walcott also played alongside numerous artists, ranging from U2 to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Meanwhile, Oberst released several solo albums and started a new band, Better Oblivion Community Center.

Despite a decade-long pause, Bright Eyes’ music continued to resonate through cover versions, samples in pop culture, and their genre-traversing catalog. With their signature intimate songwriting and musicianship, Bright Eyes encapsulates universal human experiences. 2020 witnessed the long-awaited reunion of Bright Eyes, now signed to indie label Dead Oceans.

Bright Eyes have since reissued all nine studio albums along with new recordings featuring various guests as part of their Companion project with Dead Oceans. Of the project, Oberst says, “It’s been an interesting journey revisiting and reimagining all of these old songs…I hope all of the fun and neo-nostalgia we experienced recording these comes through to the listeners.”

Bright Eyes continue to tour, including recent sold out shows in the US, UK, and Europe.
