Bio
Bright Eyes is a band consisting of singer-songwriter/guitarist Conor Oberst, multi-instrumentalist/producer Mike Mogis, Nate Walcott, and a rotating lineup of collaborators drawn primarily from Omaha's indie music scene.
While Bright Eyes remains signed to the independent label Saddle Creek Records, the band enjoys mainstream popularity that rivals that of their major label contemporaries: in 2004, the singles "Lua" and "Take It Easy (Love Nothing)" took the top two spots of Billboard's Hot 100 Singles Sales chart within two weeks of their simultaneous release.
Bright Eyes released a studio album entitled Cassadaga on April 10, 2007 in the U.S. and April 9, 2007 in the UK, with an EP entitled Four Winds on March 6, 2007. The track "Endless Entertainment" circulated over the internet from the new official site, ThisIsBrightEyes.com.

Strangers who have never met, never spoken and never played in the same room. A delicate mix of inspiration, new original material, and talented musicians, creating a fundamental sound. The energy experienced, and dedication from all the artists involved, can be touched upon when listening to the song.
