THE OLD QUARTER IS A LISTENING ROOM. LOUD CONVERSATION DURING ARTIST'S PERFORMANCE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS WHEN PURCHASING TICKETS TO SHOWS.
Brightwire is a Southeast Texas–rooted Americana/folk-rock collective known for blending elements of folk, rock, country, and punk into emotionally honest, inclusive songwriting that resonates with listeners navigating life’s challenges. Born from a household of musicians in Houston, the band has built a devoted regional following through evocative storytelling, rich harmonies, and a sound that bridges heartfelt lyricism with gritty live energy.
Their latest studio effort, Choosing Sides of Our Own Demise, marks a bold chapter in the band’s evolution. The album, shaped by the band’s characteristic blend of raw narrative and melodic drive, continues Brightwire’s tradition of crafting songs that feel both personal and universal, exploring themes of accountability, connection, and the choices that define us collectively and individually.
On February 21, 2026, Brightwire will celebrate the release of Choosing Sides of Our Own Demise with a special album release show at the Historic Old Quarter Acoustic Café in Galveston, Texas — an intimate, listening-room venue perfect for showcasing the depth and nuance of their new material. The evening also features performances by Jarad McGovern & The Jumpshooters, spotlighting McGovern’s roots-inspired songwriting.
Jared McGovern is a seasoned roots musician and songwriter from Lawton, Oklahoma, whose career spans nearly two decades of performance in the Americana and roots music scene. Beginning his journey playing bass for artists like Bob Wayne, Wayne Hancock, and Jayke Orvis, McGovern went on to form the energetic hillbilly swing trio The Urban Pioneers in 2014. His work blends traditional roots influences with high-energy, dance-ready arrangements, making him a compelling presence alongside Brightwire for this release celebration.
