New Album! 

Earlier this year, after working with Mark Lucas to curate and arrange the songs, I went into Audible Images Studio to record them with engineer extraordinaire, Jay Dudt.

In the studio, we assembled a dream team of musicians. On keyboards - Cliff Barnes. On bass - Anton DeFade. On drums - David Throckmorton. On guitar - Mark Lucas.

We recorded these songs over two days and I could not be more thrilled with the finished results of my first solo album. I hope you enjoy it!

The main ingredient is love…love for the music, love for the songwriters and musicians with which I collaborate, and love for all of you who listen and support us as musicians.

This is Bethany James's debut album. Bethany's smooth and soulful voice infuses each track with depth and emotion. Drawing inspiration from jazz legends like Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, and Joni Mitchell, the album features a collection of carefully curated covers that pays homage to the greats while adding Bethany's unique touch. Heavily rooted in jazz, the album evokes a sense of nostalgia, employing rich arrangements and intricate instrumentation designed to showcase Bethany's versatility as a vocalist, and to take the listener on an immersive journey.
