The Bright Silence

Colorado born singer Kevin Johnston founded Bright Silence (which MTV's John Norris calls "Rousing, anthemic and remarkably intimate") in Brooklyn in 2010. Emerging from NYC's open-mic-singer/songwriter scene, Johnston has performed original songs on Jimmy Kimmel Live fronting the Michael Eisner produced pioneering web series “The All-For-Nots.” He has worked with Kjartan Sveinsson (Sigur Ros) singing a 2-month-long piece of polyphonic music as the centrepiece of Ragnar Kjartansson’s “Me, My Mother, My Father and I” at NYC's New Museum. He has performed to a sold-out crowd of more than 9,000 at the famed Red Rocks Ampitheatre with Ian Cooke Band paying tribute to the music of Prince.
