<p>The soothing and uplifting single &#8220;Bright on Bright&#8221; by singer-songwriter <a href="https://www.seanhayesmusic.com/music">Sean Hayes</a> melts away the dark with a relaxed and free-spirited charm.</p>
<p>An acoustic folk treasure, &#8220;Bright on Bright&#8221; encapsulates Hayes&#8217; emotional honesty and warm charm found throughout his discography of the last decade. Having recorded it with his long-time band in rural Sonoma County, Sean Hayes preserves and highlights an organic nature only possible with live performances in the studio as they play together in real time. That togetherness is what we can expect from &#8220;Bright on Bright&#8221; as a song as well as the album, <em>Bright on Bright, </em>as Hayes croons like a campfire about mortality, gratitude, perseverance, distraction, love, and spiritual connection.</p>
<p>Unfolding the moment in such a natural way, Sean&#8217;s artistic heart speaks without rush as it follows the song and allows it to speak through him. Easygoing without growing a kind of stagnancy that looped songs often can, there&#8217;s a twinkle in the eye of this song that brushes with your memory the way an old friend would.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Bright on Bright&#8221; is an easy drive to a favorite destination with that person you can confide in or laugh with. That person who can point out the dark and bring in some light. Birds chatter and honeybees sing. You fight till you drop, mountains collapse in the blink of an eye, and we are all reborn as trees.” </em></p></blockquote>
<p>Sean Hayes is easily described as blissfully intimate, with guitar work that&#8217;s as lithesome as it is disarming and beautifully vulnerable, with almost a subtle smile in there. His voice is as gently rapturous as it is melting. You could say fans of <a href="https://ironandwine.com/">Iron &; Wine</a>, <a href="https://www.leonardcohen.com/">Leonard Cohen</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwtjmY-o6_E">Tash Sultana</a>, or <a href="https://mountaintownmusic.org/band/the-habitat/">The Habitat </a>would easily float down the river of his leathered, velvet, gorgeously knowing voice.</p>
<p>Without a doubt, &#8220;Bright on Bright&#8221; by Sean Hayes is befitting for anyone inclined for an acoustic and warm serenader.</p>
