I absolutely adore this band so, so much!!!! I met them a few years ago at the Hoboken Music Awards and was just blown away by their passionate soulful sound.  Bern & the Brights are a four piece band, but for this blog I was graced with the presence of Ms. Bernadette and Catherine.  It was my first experience with two females performing, and it couldn't have been more perfect.  They are both extremely talented and their energy radiates off of them as they perform.

Bern & the Brights describe themselves as romantic nerd-rock...They are just absolute characters and great people from the inside and out!  I was tapping my foot the whole time these lovely ladies perfromed today so I'd like to say, "I'm a nerd!!!" 

Formed in 2008 Bern & the Brights have played many fantastic stages and I am honored to have them on "ours" today inside the homegrown spotlight blog. You can catch them Feb 15th at Tierney's in Montclair !!  Please please give a listen to the acoustic performance below, and also check out their latest EP entitled "Work".  You can find this band as well on www.bernandthebrights.com as well as facebook.com/bernandthebrights.  Love these ladies, love this band!!!
