Welcome to #TheBrightSide ☀️ Debut Album Out January 22!

Welcome to the very first Bright Siders newsletter! Since we haven’t written before, please allow us to (re)-introduce ourselves…

The Bright Siders are your friends Dr. Kari Groff (Brooklyn-based psychiatrist and fiddle player) and Kristin Andreassen (Uncle Earl, the “Crayola” song, co-founder of Miles of Music Camp). We write music to inspire you and the children around you to talk about emotions in a productive and fun way. 

Together with our co-producer, Chris Eldridge (Punch Brothers), and a wildly talented group of guest singers, we have made a debut album we are very proud and excited to share.

A Mind of Your Own releases January 22, 2021 on Vinyl, LP & Digital.

Pre-order the album & preview our first single via Smithsonian Folkways!

Want to hear something right now?! Check out our first single — “The Moon & The Stars & Me” — a song written for kids who have the very common experience of being afraid of the dark.

✨ LISTEN NOW ✨

We offer this music at the beginning of what we hope will be a year of change and positivity for the world. Happy New Year!
