Chris Bethmann

Singer-Songwriter

 

Short Bio:

Chris Bethmann is an americana singer-songwriter from Rochester, NY. A trained guitarist, Bethmann channels influences like Jason Isbell and Eric Church, developing his own folk/rock sound. Whether it’s playing solo acoustic or with a full band, Bethmann’s style revolves around his adept ability to create stories, putting original twists on cliched themes and painting vivid pictures with poignant and realistic imagery. With one release under his belt (Naked Bourbon, 2018, self-released), Bethmann is barely scratching the surface of his catalog of original compositions.

Bethmann plays an earnest brand of folk rock that exudes urgency, propelled by churning, mid-tempo rhythms and a distinctive tenor voice that cuts through the steady strum in the songs.
