Beth Watts Nelson and Brandon Day
Beth and Brandon combine their classical, folk, jazz and choral music training to create a modern perspective on a vintage sound. With a focus on vocal melody and harmony, their songs sound as if they had been unearthed with the patina of decades in the songbook of Americana. An array of instruments (guitar, banjo and bass) pass between the hands of the duo to bring original and standard tunes to life.
Both members of other Kansas City bands (Konza Swamp, Little Miss Dynamite, CatGut, Whiskey Mash) the duo was forged in the rich musical melting pot of the Rural Grit Happy Hour in KC’s Crossroads Arts District. Together they seek the time and means to provide a genuine and meaningful musical experience to their audiences.
Beth Watts Nelson is a singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and choral music educator. In addition to solo and duo performances, she can be heard in several projects throughout the Kansas City area including Konza Swamp Band, Catgut, and her latest endeavor, Little Miss Dynamite. Building upon a twenty-year career in music education she is now the founder and director of Notorious Chorus, a community-based, group singing workshop for adults. Beth is a 2023 ArtsKC Inspiration Grant recipient and winner of the John Hartford Memorial Songwriting Contest, the Walnut Valley Festival NewSong Showcase, and the Ozark Mountain Soul Songwriting Competition.
Brandon Day attended Olympic College outside of Seattle, working extensively with budding jazz vocalists and small groups. His passion for helping others sound the best they can has lead him through many genres, including jazz, bluegrass, country and western, folk, Americana, classical, and all sorts of fusions. While primarily an upright bassist on call with many jazz vocalists and bluegrass groups in the greater Kansas City Metro, Brandon is also known to sing and play other instruments when needed, including guitar, violin/fiddle and electric bass. He maintains an active performance schedule throughout the year with the bluegrass group Whiskey Mash, teaching students and small groups at Farm School KC, in addition to filling every weekend with guest spots on many of the finest bandstands in town
