Brightwell & Moran, formerly known as Radio Stranger, have won the 2022 Talent Is Timeless songwriting competition and, in conjunction with Jam Records London, will release their highly anticipated new single, ‘Bare Boards’, on February 17th.

The eclectic acoustic two-piece was formed in Portland, Oregon, in the United States. On this release, recorded at the world-famous Abbey Road studios, the duo fuses a variety of folk, country, and Americana styles into one stunningly cohesive whole. The pair's lyrics and playing style exude a fiery passion. The resulting song, full of emotionally charged moments, grips immediately and does not let go as it continues. The guitar rhythms flow with vehemence as the mandolin and fiddle bursts from the production, accompanied by beautiful vocals from two of the industry's most promising breakout performers.

Kelly Brightwell and Woody Moran form a duo that crafts their own distinctive place in the industry. They draw inspiration from greats such as Dave Matthews, Paul Simon, and Patty Griffin while simultaneously standing out with their own unique quality. They have garnered comparisons to contemporary heavyweights in the scene, such as The Shires. Also, they spare no effort in their mission to slake the thirst of everyone who is pining for the best folk and country music, and they take yet another leap forward with their new offering!

So, are you seeking some country-folk music that arrives with a twist? There is no need to look further than Brightwell & Moran's 'Bare Boards', which will be available everywhere on February 17th.
