Bright November

**Bright November** is a Portland-based indie folk-pop duo known for crafting heartfelt anthems that blend acoustic warmth with subtle electronic textures. Formed in 2016 by vocalist Elara Mirth and multi-instrumentalist Jonah Vales, the pair has built a loyal following in the Pacific Northwest with their introspective lyrics and themes of resilience, community, and finding light in tough times. Their recent singles like *In This Together* and *Seeking the Day* showcase their knack for pairing soaring melodies with lyrics that feel both personal and universally relatable. While they’ve stayed rooted in their indie-folk core, tracks like *Lion’s Mouth* and *Up In Arms* hint at a growing experimentation with synth layers and rhythmic drive. Bright November maintains a grassroots vibe, often touring regionally and peppering live shows with storytelling moments that deepen their connection to fans.
