Bess is a compelling performer with nothing but a guitar; she impressed people for years with her wonderful songs and her beautiful, silky voice. Bess grew up with music, both parents were active musicians. Back when most kids were fretting about acne, voice-cracks, and the other ills of puberty, Bess was writing her first songs and hasn't stopped since. Bess' songs run the gamut from strange and waltzy to alt-country to brooding folk to tween pop, sometimes in the space of a single song. The only constant trait is Bess's obvious gift for melody, and her luxurious, sweet and sultry voice.
