Annie Bethancourt

WHAT THE "THEY" SAY: "Annie Bethancourt puts on a show that explains the difference between raw talent and deft technique. Or, rather, she inhabits both." -- Troy Johnson, Music Editor San Diego CityBeat "...bluesy and raw. Her voice is angelic, and resonates the deep emotions in her songs. (she) has got a lot of talent on her lips and at her fingertips." --discoveringartists.com "a lucid mixture of Joni Mitchell and Fiona Apple that goes from hushed whispers, operatic heights, and then coal-walking wails, all within the same song."
