About this project
Hello All! We are Bethany Larson & The Bee's Knees
Last winter we recorded our first full length album When We Reach The City at Humans Win! studio in Minneapolis. We are very excited to get this album out to everyone.
"On their sophomore release Bethany Larson & the Bees Knees offer up a highly memorable and more nuanced batch of material. Bethany's voice has evolved beautifully: as much Ella Fitzgerald and Juliette Greco as Emmylou Harris and Lucinda Williams. Bethany's lyrics about love and heartbreak have a worldly sophistication and the band has fleshed out unique and sweet arrangements that both swoon and rock."
–Adam Levy, The Honeydogs
Bethany Larson & The Bee's Knees is hoping to raise $3,500 to complete the album. Our pubilc school teacher, waitress and ticket sales paychecks just aren't making the cut. We still need to pay for the mastering, album artwork, CD pressing, packaging and distribution. Please take a look at the backer rewards. We look forward to giving you a chance to take the music home!
Here is a sneak peak at the albums single "Don't You Wanna Know"

Raised in Austin Minnesota, Bethany grew up a preacher’s daughter with three older brothers. She began singing with the church choir at the age of five and picked up guitar at fifteen. Moving on to college, Bethany maintained a love for music while studying classical voice. She began performing at more traditional venues in 2006 such as The Acadia Café. Since then she has moved up the scale, most notably performing for the debut of The Southern Songbook “Lush Life” with local band Heiruspecs, backing her on the jazz standards My Funny Valentine and Someone to Watch over Me.
