Today’s song is “Beautiful Morning” by Bern & The Brights. The group hails from New Jerdey and consists of vocalists andmulti-instrumentalists, Bernadette Malavarca and Catherine McGowan.
They both played alongside each other previously and worked on each other’s projects but decided to join forces in 2008 to form Bern & The Brights. After winning a songwriting competition through 101.9 RXP in New York for their song, “May in New York,” they had the opportunity to write alongside Butch Walker. In addition, Bern & The Brights opened for Walker at Webster Hall and have played Union County Music Festival with Spoon, OK Go and Soul Asylum.
This song is off their newest EP Heart Wide Open just released this weekend, this past Friday November 6th.
The EP was self-written, produced and recorded by Bern & The Brights.
