Indie rock & folk prodigy and Saddle Creek Records founder Conor Oberst has released over a dozen albums under various monikers and in collaboration with various musicians, but it's his band Bright Eyes that has most consistently been the primary vehicle for his heartfelt, erudite and emotive lyrics. Bright Eyes recently released their seventh album, "The People's Key," which Oberst has said will be their last. Bright Eyes played a show at the Auditorium Shores in Austin, TX on March 19, 2011 as part of the South by Southwest festival.
