Barnaby Bright at the Living Room

The phrase "Barnaby Bright" is a medieval term for the summer solstice. It is also the name of an on-the-rise indie folk band touring the national singer-songwriter circuit. Barnaby Bright’s music has been featured on the ER, Days of Our Lives and Roadtrip Nation television shows. The New York-based quintet, led by vocalist Rebecca Bliss and her husband Nathan Bliss, won a NY Song Circle competition, and "If I Came Back as a Song" won third place in an international songwriting competition. The band has recorded three albums.

At the Living Room tonight, the band charmed the audience with its soothing country-flavored folk songs. Rebecca Bliss sang with a peaceful voice that communicated her life’s passions, longings and disappointments. The vocalist mentioned that it was her 47^th time performing on that stage. It was also her last performance there, as the Living Room will close in two weeks.
