Bekah Kelso

Music – San Antonio

Take one part bohemian and one part brass knuckles, stir in some wanderlust, simmer at 100° in Texas weather for 20 something years. Remove from heat and let chill. Serve Bekah Kelso up with a folk-hop twist, relax and enjoy. The warrior-wanderer from San Antonio began her full-time music career in 2008 when she packed up her car, sold everything that wouldn’t fit, and hit the road with a guitar and a dream. The countless miles since then have proved a source of endless inspiration for her inquisitive and introspective nature. Her music is a reflection of the unconventional path she prefers. She’s played for crowds at festivals, patrons at bars and coffee shops, and – her favorite – intimate gatherings at house concerts. Her DIY tours have taken her to international stages and all over the United States. 2013 was a fabulous year for the gypsy chanteuse, who took home \"Best Singer/Songwriter\" and \"Best Song\" in this year\'s San Antonio Music Awards (San Antonio Current), as well as gaining local love for her latest album, \"Within the Shifting Shade\". This most recent release is a soulful, alt-pop collaboration local producer and sound engineer, Damian Rodriguez, who also took home \"Best Producer\" from the same awards. Though she hasn’t given up her wayfaring ways, Bekah settled back in San Antonio and plans to make Texas her oyster, performing closer to home while she spends time with her newest and favorite playmate – her son. She rejoices daily in this tiny muse.
