Lyrics from Skinnybone
Sea of Bees is the project of Sacramento, CA based folk artist Julie Baenziger. A native of suburbs outside of Sacramento, Baenziger began writing songs as a teenager, but didn't begin recording and playing publicly until years later after moving out on her own in Sacramento. While playing at a studio space called the Hangar, she was discovered by producer John Baccigaluppi. He encouraged Baenziger to record an EP, which resulted in 2009's Bee Eee Pee. Baenziger continued to make a name for herself in Sacramento and the Bay Area, and was signed to Crossbill Records in the US, and Heavenly Recordings in the UK. Sea of Bees released their debut album Songs for the Ravens in 2010 and toured nationally and internationally behind the album. She is working on a new album to be released sometime in 2012.
