She is also a member of the Bright Eyes’ touring band.

Bright Eyes

Beginning in 1998 Bright Eyes was singer/songwriter/guitarist Conor Oberst and a revolving cast of musicians.

Since 2006 the band has settled into the permanent trio of Oberst, Mike Mogis and Nathaniel Walcott, while utilizing the talents of varying contributing musicians from the Omaha music scene.

Prolific and profound, the new Bright Eyes album is entitled The People’s Key.

Two free songs are available from the Saddle Creek website under the “downloads” section.

Azure Ray

It’s been a long seven years since we last heard from Azure Ray. The duo of Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink pursued solo and collaborative projects during the interim. Part of the Saddle Creek collective out of Omaha, NE, these two women return with their gorgeous harmonies on their 4th album, Drawing Down the Moon. From this recording “Don’t Leave My Mind” is the Song of the Day.
