I will be playing music inspired by the end of an 8 year tradition of being able to see Conor Oberst live at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. I may cry as I talk about lil 18 year old me seeing him there for the first time and getting obsessed. I also will include bands I saw during the “Conor Oberst brings friends” stage of hardly Strictly, like waxahatchee, Jenny Lewis, and the last ever bright eyes live in person show ever. That’s right, unless I’m wrong.
Xoxo
bright eyes is still my favorite band.
