At least his future’s bright
- Share via
Is it a concert or a coronation? Conor Oberst is only 24, but the precocious leader of Bright Eyes has been moving steadily toward his breakthrough for close to a decade. Now, with the two albums he released last month -- the singer-songwriter collection “I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning” and the electro pop “Digital Ash in a Digital Urn” -- he appears ready to reach a wide audience with the intensely personal chronicles of his generation’s confrontation with an uncertain future. That makes this Bright Eyes tour (in which he’ll focus on the singer-songwriter material) a much-watched event. Oberst has loaded the bill with kindred spirits: fellow Omaha band Neva Dinova and singer-songwriter Jesse Sykes and his band the Sweet Hereafter.
