Barnaby Bright's music has been featured on television shows such as ER, Days of Our Lives, and PBS Roadtrip Nation. Their song, "If I Came Back as a Song" was voted 3rd place winner by a notable panel of judges inlcuding Tom Waits, in 2007's International Song-Writing Competition.
They recently returned from a month-long European tour to promote their first full length album, "Wake the Hero." Fronted by Nathan and Rebecca Bliss, Brooklyn-based Barnaby Bright combines beautiful acoustic guitars, lush harmonies, rich string arrangements, quirky instruments and subtle electronic tweaks. Their unique brand of lush, indie folk is a warm and welcome wind of change.
"Rebecca’s smooth, melodic vocals are reminiscent of Karen Carpenter or Shelby Flint...and Nathan’s incorporation of his jazz background into Garfunkel-y acoustic compositions bring diverse styles together to the folk in the road: a marriage of minds and hands and music." -The Deli Magazine
"Nathan and Rebecca Bliss make up the sweetly melodic folk-ish duo Barnaby Bright, whose songs have soundtracked heavy emotional moments on Days of Our Lives and ER" -Time Out New York

Excellent tracks on your player. The songs are distinguished- I love the use of WELL executed simplicity at times...like the beginning of "Gravity" being carried by those nice a.g. rhythms..no dought... and "GIRL IN THE CAGE" is very smart.

How good it is to hear "IF I Came Back as a Song" again. I have posted a song whose tune is a Greek Song my parents taught me. Long forgotten, it came back. It is in 7/8. I wanted Australian children to experience what I had. Recall a song from childhood and ask themselves "What is this odd rhythm?" So. I added my own words. The song is now "G'day Santa". It could do with some fine singing and musicianship, but alas, there is only me.
Wow I just heard "If I Came Back As a Song". You guys don't need competitions. Keep doing your thing and good things will come (they already have right?)
