Beth Whitney - folk-pop singer/songwriter from the Pacific Northwest

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 the pair began winning awards throughout Washington.

After recording ‘Leave Your Shoes’ (2007) at Malamute Studios in Seattle, the pair toured across the Northwest at such venues as The Tractor Tavern, Mr. Spot’s Chai House, Barefoot Coffee Roasters, Sleeping Lady, and the Evergreen State Fair. A mutual parting with Malamute Records left Beth with a handful of new songs and an open slate. Beth and Aaron resolved like many bands and artists to pursue the independent route. In 2009, Beth and Aaron were selected in the top ten of Wenatchee’s Battle of the Bands, 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 hand-pick a studio/producer. They found a fit in Brandon Bee, a multi-talented artist and producer out of Tacoma, WA. Beth Whitney’s upcoming EP, ‘Yellow’ will be released this summer. Don’t miss this one, really.

Beth Whitney opens for The Hopeful Romantics; one fee covers both acts.
