Bethany Gillan
Bethany Gillan possesses a young yet accomplished voice that's every bit as expressive as her harmonies. This thinking person's poet writes metaphorical melodies that suggest a composer twice her age, and her soft, elegant tone rises to the challenge. Having cut her teeth on everything from Classical to Pop-Rock, Bethany's rich musical history is reflected in her ambitious songwriting--try to imagine Joss Stone and Sarah McLachlan joining Fleetwood Mac for a sun-soaked jam session.
