Conor Oberst put Omaha on the indie-rock map in the ‘90s, when his alt-folk outfit Bright Eyes captivated listeners with thoughtful lyrics and ringing melodies. Oberst's blending of alt-rock's grunged-up textures and classic rock's grandeur makes for music that resonates across generations, and his restless creativity has resulted in an eclectic discography. It's anchored by his genre-defining work with Bright Eyes and textured by his more idiosyncratic solo explorations, and he's given it a rich depth with his collaborations with similarly minded artists like his Better Oblivion Community Center partner Phoebe Bridgers and the golden-age indie heavyweights who make up Monsters of Folk.
