Bethany Saint Smith & The Gun Show formed out of a widespread gang from all over the states and across the seas. From the West to the East, these five guns started to take form in 2006. With the old 60's soul blues vocalist and composer, Bethany Saint Smith and the four musically eclectic genres of men; Mike Edelman (lead guitar), Jon Fallin (bass), Shu Nakumara (slide) and Daniel Geoghegan (drums), they have come together to create a sound that is older than your time and modified by today's ensemble of Americana sounds. This Blues/ Americana band has risen from the Chinatown venues, to your local East Village destination spots. Here's what some other artists have to say about her:
"Bethany Saint Smith has the instincts of an aged American blues singer. Though she's very young, there is a tug in the heart when you hear her sing, that grabs you and makes you wonder what she's lived through. She reminds me of the earthy Odetta of 60's Folk/rock fame, or of Nina Simone's scathingly sophisticated perceptions of life."
- Susaye Greene (of the Supremes)
"I know you've heard it before, but you do make me think of Odetta and that's a good thing."
-Neal Casal (of Ryan Adams & The Cardinals and Hazy Malaze)
"From the first note, WOW, what a voice! She sounded like the real deal: soulful and powerful, with perfect intonation and a lot of subtle volume shifts -- the dying art of vocal dynamics."
- Greg Villapique (of Soul Patrol)

With warmth and seductive breathiness she lures you in to her slightly melancholy plights of blues and longing. Bethany Saint Smith is the real deal. Stripped down, raw production lend to the authenticity and allow the subtled nuances to shine through. Bethany Saint Smith is definetly one to watch. Unique phrasing and melody set her apart from the rest of the neo-soul pack.
BEATIFUL MUSIC!
