About
Alex Nahas is a singer and multi-instrumentalist who plays the Chapman Stick. His solo project Bright Brown is a case study in how to wring more from less. As Bright Brown has evolved over the course of three LPs, multiple EPs and, most recently, a string of stripped-down singles written and recorded over the course of 2020, Nahas has carved out a niche that slots into the same lineage as David Byrne, David Bowie, and Daniel Lanois: all one-of-a-kind artists who shoehorned unorthodox approaches into highly digestible pop music. Likewise, Nahas’s music evades categorization under any one single genre, but there’s the unmistakable common thread of a seasoned songwriter with a flair for mood, texture and atmosphere. Thoughtful and reflective with a knack for rendering outside-world concerns in the landscape of the personal, Bright Brown continues to venture into new frontiers, casting the Stick in a fresh light as a songwriter’s instrument.
