Biography

(2007 – present)

Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band is the name of US alt-country musician Conor Oberst and his backing band composed of Nik Freitas (guitar), Taylor Hollingsworth (guitar), Macey Taylor (bass), Nate Walcott (keyboards/organ) and Jason Boesel (drums).

Conor Oberst played 2 shows @ 400 Bar in Minneapolis, MN on the 29th and 30th of December, 2007 with Nik Freitas on Guitars, Jason Boesel on Drums, Macey Taylor on Bass and Nate Walcott on Keyboards and the French Horn. During the show he made it clear that the band was not Bright Eyes and that they had yet to select a band name. A show on the 1st of February has them billed as ‘Conor Oberst and The Mystic Valley Band.’ The Mystic Valley Band includes Taylor Hollingsworth as lead guitarist.

In November 2007, it was reported that Oberst would work on a solo record with Jake Bellows, and that he and M. Ward would start a band and perform two late December shows in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Contrary to what was believed, the shows were not played with M. Ward, but rather with Nik Freitas and Jason Boesel. They played 13 new songs and 3 Bright Eyes songs. They also played a show in February in Mexico City, Mexico.

Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band have announced that they will be playing at the 2008 Reading and Leeds Festivals. In addition, they will also be performing at the Electric Picnic in Ireland in August 2008, the Austin City Limits festival in September and also at the Great Escape Festival in Sydney, Australia in early October 2008.

    they're all wonderful and talented musicians, conor is a great lyricist but they're all good at what they do. nate walcott just does so much honor to the french horn and keyboards

    Yep. I completely agree. I've always thought it sad not to have a physical copy of that awesome EP. But this is even better than a proper release of Gentlemen's EP. I think this might be the release of the year. Just might.

    according to conor oberst, it IS a solo ablum, and not his ONLY solo album at that. there are many differences between his solo work and the mvb. for starters, conor is the only one singing in his solo album, which is not true for the mvb. conor's music in his solo album is also much more lovey-dovey and sweet, like bright eyes, where as the mvb isn't. conor came up with the music and the lyrics for his solo work, where as everyone in the band helped out with the music and lyrics for the mvb. bright eyes is like his solo album because it's all conor with the help of other people with ONLY playing instruments for the music HE came up with, the mvb isn't like bright eyes because it's a collaborative work, NOT only conor's ideas.
