Brightbill is an alternative rock band  formed in 2016 when lead singer and songwriter Cole Brightbill moved from Boston, MA to Philadelphia, PA. Cole was soon joined by saxophone and guitar player Craig VanRemoortel, as well as others to create and record their first project to be released in 2018. With a rotating cast of characters, the band plays high energy live sets in venues around greater Philadelphia and the northeast. Brightbill is influenced by jam bands like Phish, The Grateful Dead, and The Dave Matthews Band, as well as modern alternative bands like The 1975, Young the Giant, and Kings of Leon.
