Conor Oberst has announced “Conor Oberst and Friends,” a run of 2024 residency shows going down in Los Angeles and New York City.
From March 7th to April 25th, Oberst will perform weekly shows with a rotating cast of bandmates, assembling different setlists that span his vast discography — most notably from his releases with Bright Eyes. And as the “Oberst and Friends” title implies, the shows will also feature an array of special guests.
“I have always believed there’s salvation through music and love,” Oberst says in a press release. “At least for me. It’s gotten me through the worst of things. But I want it to be that way for the people who listen to it, too. I feel I always make an attempt, even when writing what is a pretty depressing number, to sew some silver lining into it. I think the secret to happiness is making yourself believe that happiness is possible. The first step in overcoming anything is to believe that you can do it. So in my songs there’s always a point where something pulls you out of the hole you’re in.”

In March, Oberst collaborated with The So So Glos on their single “Everywhere Is War.” Last year, Bright Eyes released a series of EPs comprised of re-recorded versions of tracks from early in their discography. Their last album of original material was 2020’s Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was.
