Bright Examples is the fifth studio album by husband and wife duo Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion.[1] Their previous album Go Waggaloo was recorded for children, so Bright Examples is their first release in the folk and Americana genre. The collaborative project features producers Andy Cabic (lead singer-songwriter in the band Vetiver) and Thom Monahan (Devendra Banhart, Vetiver).
