    Combining beautiful acoustic guitars, lush harmonies, rich string arrangements, quirky instruments and subtle electronic tweaks, the music of Barnaby Bright has been featured on television shows such as ER, Days of Our Lives, and PBS Roadtrip Nation. They were the grand prize winners at the prestigious New York Song Circle Contest last year.

    There is a transcendent thread in their lyrics, melodies and progressions that has an intangible but visceral timelessness and truth. The world has called and Barnaby Bright has answered. Their unique brand of "lush, chamber 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

    "Sounds like: that special place somewhere between the sleek adult pop of The Weepies and the more intimate harmonied splendor of The Civil Wars...classically-trained vocalist Becky has an effortless, gorgeous tone while multi-instrumentalist Nathan adds harmony and a virtual kit bag of backing sound."
    - Direct Current Music

    Written by "Nathan and Becky Bliss." Except Yellow Moon and February written by "Becky and Nathan Bliss.

lyrics

Wake the Hero
by Nathan Bliss

Here's a good seat, two together
On the concrete by the river
Tell a story, sing a legend
Mine is boring, take possession
I for one would like to hear
Tell me a story

Upon a time in a place
Upon a time in a place
Upon a time in a place
Just you and me, just you and me

Bear a secret
Share completely
Swear to keep it
Wear it deeply
Shake the lumber
Wake the Hero
Make the number
Lead the zero

I for one would like to hear
Tell me a story

Upon a time in a place
Upon a time in a place
Upon a time in a place
Just you and me, just you and me

Here's a good seat
Two together
On the concrete by the river
See the night sink
Into morning
Better not think, tell a story

I for one would like to hear
Tell me a story

Upon a time in a place
Upon a time in a place
Upon a time in a place
Just you and me, just you and me
