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.

    Great Show

    by CyberFan on 4/12/22The Anthem - Washington

    The night was great! I couldn’t ask or expect more from the first note of the opener to the last note of the night. It was perfection all around and I wouldn’t change anything.

    Really great

    by Brooke on 4/12/22The Anthem - Washington

    The venue and staff were kind and fun. The concert had excellent sound quailty, seating, and visuals. Brighteyes was wonderful taking a large venue and making it intimate somehow.

    Melted my face off

    by Laura on 4/12/22The Anthem - Washington

    This show was so special and magical for me. They pulled out songs I never thought I'd hear. They got a band section. They incorporated people of color. The songs are so meaningful to me and I definitely cried. And I'm not usually a crier. I did feel really alone though because I went by myself.

    Probably the worst event ive attended.

    by Thisisthenamefornoone on 4/3/22The Pageant - St Louis

    The rules at the pagent are ridiculous. No purses allowed even though the check through them but you can bring bags of food in .? You have to have a negative covid test or proof of vaccination to attend but even after that still have to wear a mask! The show wasnt great either. I am a bright eyes fan for years but this was mot a good performance at all . Pretty sure conor was drunk or high. I spent alot of money to watch him just mainly talk about random stuff and sings probably the worst songs he has to offer. I don't normally feel so disappointed after a concert/event but i 10/10 would not buy another ticket to see them and unless the band is REALLY good. I wont be back to the pageant anytime soon.

    by Kamy on 3/31/22The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    I’ve been waiting for Bright Eyes to come out of there hiatus. And then covid made this wait even longer! The second their set started, it was all worth it 🥺 The level of quality was so good and Conor’s voice :,) I will be seeing them every time they come to Chicago <3

    Bright Chi

    by Pete_Z on 3/29/22The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    Took a trip to Chicago to see the amazing Bright Eyes. The layering of sound and complexity of compositions reminded of Pink Floyd at times. It was truly mesmerizing. Indie Folk, Rock, and what will soon be considered Classic/Essential Rock met orchestral magic for some truly dense tracks carried by Conor's impassioned, prayer-like and pleading poetry.

    Everything seemed off and drunk

    by Slubadub on 3/28/22The Sylvee - Madison

    The band was not in sync early on. Conor got progressively drunk as the show went on and seemed not into the show at the end.
