She Keeps Bees
As if held suspended just above the earth, the music of SheKeepsBees at once nestles the listener amongst the roots of homespun folk and blues only to carry them away upon an airy whisper and a fervent cry. Nurturing Minisink Hotel, her first full-length album, has heightened Jessica's senses, broadened her mind while bringing her passions into focus. Her calling is song.
