Episode 241: Bright Kelly (indie pop rock) [Philadelphia]

Episode 241 features Bright Kelly from Philadelphia, PA. Currently releasing music under his solo moniker, he is also the frontman of the band called The Great Enough, which gained success opening for Imagine Dragons and other big names. Bright is a hardworking songwriter, and I appreciate his lyrics for their creativity and bluntness. He has one best all-time lyrics I’ve ever heard from any guest on this show, in calling Keith Richards a sorcerer in ‘Jesus Was A Socialist.’ So he’s earned my respect for that alone. Beyond his lyricism, he appears to be an extremely positive and amicable person to work with. I believe his attitude will continue to serve him well, and I am now a fan of his music, which I would describe as Imagine Dragons meets a street-wise version of the Goo Goo Dolls. I featured two of his songs, and if you enjoy them, you can find them wherever you stream music. During our conversation, we delved into the backstage drama of opening for 20,000 people, the state of the music industry, the importance of supporting other artists, and we may have talked some trash about some venues (just kidding). Bright is active on all social media, so you can follow him there for his tour dates.
