Conor Oberst: 2016
Conor Oberst recently returned to his roots in every way imaginable. After suffering a serious health scare and a good deal of stress, he left New York City after 13 years here, moved back to Omaha, Nebraska, and for the first time since his early years, wrote songs truly alone and with no plan. Fortunately, he decided to record them — unadorned, and many played on upright piano — and we couldn't wait to hear these songs live in Studio A.
