WHERE'S BETH: [https://www.wheresbethmusic.com/]
Voice and lyrics clear as glass, Where’s Beth (project of Sarabeth Weszely) carries the kind of honesty that makes a room go still.
Raised in the Midwest and trained as a writer, Weszely brings a literary sensibility to her songs, shaped by close observation and restraint. She lived seven years in New York City, where she recorded for my mom & other lovers (2022) and Bone Broth (2024). These early releases introduced her devotion to shared domestic spaces and the emotional textures of the mundane.
Her sophomore album Ache Is A Cricket In The Night continues this exploration of everyday life but widens its emotional landscape. Across its songs, Weszely writes in tiny weather systems: a fridge that stops humming, a clogged drain gurgling like human pain, strangers pointing out untied shoes in the grocery line, white ants burrowing through wood at dusk. These images widen into reflections on grief, anger, the quiet accumulation of loss, and the ordinary ache of being alive. Recorded live in Weszely’s Seattle home studio, Ache Is A Cricket In The Night trusts presence over perfection. It does not rush toward resolution but stays, listens, offering itself as a companion and trusting that even the smallest details can hold entire emotional worlds.
SARAH BRUNNER: [http://ww.sarahbrunnermusic.com]
Michigan native and Seattle-based singer-songwriter Sarah Brunner brings a rich acoustic Americana sound shaped by more than a decade of live performance. She blends Americana, folk, and country influences into a cohesive, genre-spanning style.
Sarah’s self-titled EP, recorded at Bear Creek Studio, was released on August 7, 2026. The project showcases her honest songwriting as she explores love, struggle, and connection through a queer lens. She also performs with the Americana duo The Hipocrats, whose releases include the EP Road to Joy (2022) and the full-length album Friend Ship Joyride (2024).
