Beth Whitney -- Singer/songwriter on tour from Washington! August 27, 2011

Beth Whitney is an acoustic folk-pop singer/songwriter from the Pacific Northwest, on tour to promote her new CD "Yellow."

The poet and musician in Beth united at 16 when an intuitive gentleman from church handed her a classical guitar. Here a songwriter she became. When Beth began jamming with Aaron Fishburn at Whitworth College in 2004, there fused folky-reflective songwriter with his toe-tappin’, funky upright bass. Soon they began winning awards across the Northwest.

After recording ‘Leave Your Shoes’ in 2007, the pair toured across the Northwest at such venues as The Tractor Tavern, Barefoot Coffee Roasters, and the Evergreen State Fair. Beth and Aaron were selected in the top ten of Wenatchee’s Battle of the Bands 2009, and most recently, Beth took home the title as winner of Caffe Mela’s 2010 Battle of the Bards.

In Spring of 2010, Beth and Aaron set out to handpick a studio/producer. They found a fit in Brandon Bee, a multi-talented artist and producer out of Tacoma, WA, and Beth Whitney’s upcoming EP, ‘Yellow’ will be released this summer. Don’t miss this one, really!

Beth opens from 7 - 9 for the Hopeful Romantics (9 - 11) -- one cover for both bands.
