About the Artist
After recently having the privilege to play with bands such as Eisley, Azure Ray, First Aid Kit, Margot and the Nuclear So & So's, Frontier Ruckus, Suckers, Jessica Lea Mayfield,etc... Bethesda has elevated themselves into the same conversation as some of indie rocks best.
These five friends, in hopes of satisfying their snow laden angst, came together in the interest of channeling their desires for meaningful living into the artistic expression of music. The result? Bethesda, an Indie Rock group that brings together folk roots, indie beats, and crafty guitars with meaningful lyrics to build songs that move your heart and feet in equal measures.
Blending influences from seemingly unblendable musical genres, these folks paint pictures of human drama, the beauty of nature, and the few truths they know to be true with poignant lyrics and musical movements that can rip you from your apathetic state and send you whirling!
