Bright Eyes began in 1995 in an Omaha basement as a recording moniker for 15-year-old Conor Oberst’s work with producer/multi-instrumentalist Mike Mogis. Mogis and composer/arranger/multi-instrumentalist Nate Walcott became fully fledged members in 2006, and the band has released one time-capsule LP after another over the last two-plus decades.

Their robust, mature, narratively cohesive discography features urgent dispatches from transcendent, fleeting eras of our collective lives — including landmark albums like I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn.

Bright Eyes' impact and influence has been significant throughout pop culture, appearing in countless films and television shows while their songs have been covered by dozens of artists, including Lorde, The Killers, Mac Miller, Phoebe Bridgers, Jason Mraz and beabadoobee, plus samples by rappers like Young Thug and Lil Peep. For a band that’s often been perceived as an outlier, the depth, breadth, and impact of the Bright Eyes canon is remarkable.
