Bethany and the Guitar

Bethany always loved to sing, but it was only after she recorded the song “As Long as I’ve Got You” with her brother, Kurtis Parks, that she realized her passion for songwriting. Shortly after recording the song in her bedroom, she and her brother created a music myspace under the name “Bethany and the Guitar,” and it stuck.
Because Kurtis lived in Nashville and Bethany in Blacksburg, VA, they would co-write by sending short video clips of melodies and guitar riffs and built off each other’s ideas. They recorded wherever they could. The songs from the first EP, debuted in January 2010, were recorded in guest bedrooms, freshman dorms, and summer camps.
Bethany and Kurtis now reside in DC where they wrote and recorded Bethany’s first full-length album, “Sparrow.”
