Bright Eyes Supports <i>The People's Key</i> with North American Tour, Plays Toronto

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Dec 14, 2010

The tail end of last month had Conor Oberst fans jumping for joy via an announcement that the folk rocker would be dusting off his old Bright Eyes moniker to put out a new album. The disc, The People's Key, will be the first album issued under the name Bright Eyes since 2007's Cassadaga. Fittingly, following the new record's February release, the outfit will take to the roads.

Though Bright Eyes' membership has fluctuated over the years, this trip, which includes a Toronto stop on March 13, will see the troupe performing as a septet.

You can check out the tour dates below and wait for the release of The People's Key, which is due out via Saddle Creek on February 15.
