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. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered at home with little more than a microphone and a computer.

Willie Nile

Born (1949) Robert Noonan in Buffalo, New York, Willie Nile studied philosophy at the University of Buffalo before heading for Greenwich Village, determined to make a name for himself as a latter-day troubadour. That he did throughout the ’70s, becoming a fixture in the Village folk and rock scenes and getting tabbed as the next big thing to come out of that long-thriving artistic community. Writing in The New York Times, the great rock critic Robert Palmer called him “one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in years.”
