About

Bright Eyes is the musical project of singer-songwriter Conor Oberst--an Omaha native who many have dubbed "rock's boy genius." And when one considers his prolific musical output; the ease at which he writes complex, poetic lyrics that accurately sum up many facets of the American experience; that he has been recording music since 13 and, by 24, has recorded over a dozen albums (not to mention a few EPs) and mans his own enormously successful indie record label, Saddle Creek--they may just be right. Oberst, with his trembling voice and fragile appearance, looks every bit the passionate, sensitive artist reluctantly thrust into the spotlight--something which undoubtedly lends to his massive appeal. In 1998, Bright Eyes released two albums, A Collection of Songs written and recorded between 1995-1997 and Letting Off the Happiness. Every Day and Every Night, an EP, was released in 1999 followed by Fevers and Mirrors in 2001 and then Oh Holy Fools in 2002. After taking a break to record an album for another project, Desparacidos, Bright Eyes released the much acclaimed Lifted or The Story is in the Soil. Keep Your Ear to the Ground in 2002. Several EPs were recorded and released in 2004, as well as two full length albums released on the same day--the folk/country influenced I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning featuring guest vocals by Emmylou Harris and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, a pop-electronic album featuring a full-band and "bigger" production than the former. The albums hit Billboard's Top Independent Charts at spots 2 and 3, respectively. Many of Oberst's works have been hailed as veritable masterpieces and several critics (as well as a legion of fans) already consider him to hold a place among the great American songwriters.

    Bright Eyes!!!

    by Araniacat on 5/24/23White Oak Music Hall - Downstairs - Houston

    The venue was great. Thoroughly enjoyed the opening acts, and with the exception of a group of overly inebriated people next to us (that security eventually took care of) the main event was amazing! I traveled from Ft. Worth to see them, and it was so worth it!

    Rode to Pain

    by BuffaloMan on 5/21/23Aztec Theatre - San Antonio

    An old fan, I was excited for the show. The music was wonderful and the crowd was actually quite engaged. As I said, I enjoyed the music but Conor showed up inebriated and continued to drink through out the show. Slurring and rambling his stage presence was second rate and a great detraction from a solid body of work on offer. The behavior was so uncontrolled that when Rode to Joy was played for the final encore Conor naturally descended to the cliché-ish tortured rock star, shredding and destroying the stage. Unfortunately, he went to the piano and kicked it over causing it to domino into the mike stand that Nate Walcott was playing his trumpet into. The mike slammed into the trumpet and knocked Nate back. He crawled across the stage probably with his front teeth knocked out. He finished the song at the back of the stage in pain on his knees while stage hands held a towel to his face. Conor's drunken antics were... sad.

    Chaotic Show

    by LVS on 5/21/23Aztec Theatre - San Antonio

    The songs were good, but Conor did so much rambling between songs the show was kind of painful to watch. And he kicked the keyboard stand that caused Nathan to get hit in the mouth with his own trumpet, that was a terrible way to end the show. It looked like Conor didn't notice, and the rest of the band definitely looked very uncomfortable. I definitely will not make an effort to see Bright Eyes again.

    Great, but dude was sloshed

    by YooHoo on 5/18/23Rose Music Hall - Columbia

    The performances were great, and opener Maya Hawke was a fantastic surprise. She has an amazing voice and I look forward to hearing what she does next. Bright Eyes put on a hell of a show, but the lead singer was three sheets to the wind, and was close to undecipherable when he spoke. Still, great music on a great night!

    Keep touring, please

    by Kimberly Hausman on 5/16/23

    I've seen them three times in the last 14 months and I love them with all my heart. Bloomington, IL in November was probably their best show. As long as they keep touring, I will showing up and demanding Waste of Paint.
