Venue: Columbus Theater Location: Providence, RI, United States Date: July 18, 2019

On July 18, 2019, during a live performance at the Columbus Theater in Providence, Conor Oberst was riding the wave of renewed interest surrounding Bright Eyes. This period followed the band's 2011 album, "The People's Key," and heralded a fresh chapter for the group. Notably, 2019 saw Oberst embracing his solo work while rekindling the magic of collaboration in anticipation of future Bright Eyes projects. Fans were treated to the raw emotion of "If The Breakman Turns My Way," a song that beautifully captures the complex interplay of hope and despair—gestures that are characteristic of Oberst’s songwriting. Interestingly, this concert marked one of the many intimate gigs where Oberst's vocal vulnerability and lyrical sincerity shone through, reminding audiences why Bright Eyes remains a pivotal force in indie music. Each note resonated with shared memories, hinting at the legacies that instill a profound connection with fans, old and new alike.
