Betsy began ukelele after a finger injury in high school made the guitar rather difficult for a few months. Once on the college scene at Denison University in central Ohio, inside jokes, road trips, and Sunday afternoons inspired many of the songs that are now on release and destined to melt the hearts of the world.
The Wind Down Woo features 13 tracks, opening with the boisterous, danceable βOrange Drink,β celebrating that favorite beverage from Sunday school, elementary class parties, and service trips. The album then entreaties individuals to avoid the βAwkwardβ situations that anyone on a college campus undoubtedly experiences on a regular basis. Itβs not all goofy funβnβgames, though, with βTuvaluβ heartening long-distance couples and anyone who has a soul with its lilting tune and βawwwwβ-inspiring lyrics. βFricken Loveβ expresses hope for losing weight on a new dieting approach youβve probably never considered. βThe Goodnight Songβ may just be the lullaby of the 21st century. You will want that special someone to croon you to sleep with this tune until your dying day.
U is for Ukelele opens new territory while remaining true to the simple, heartfelt sound of The Wind Down Woo. U features 16 tracks, and most tracks tie back to three themes: quirky love tunes, like "Caffeinated Love" and "The Economics of Love"; cell phones, as with "The Ringtone Song," "Gimme a Call," and "Weekend Minutes"; and defending the honor of the uke, as with "Ukes, Not Nukes," and "Let's Get Some Things Straight." The Toledo City Paper included U is for Uke among "sounds you could and should be hearing."
2009's EP bil3rabi chronicles Betsy's journeys in the Middle East, with several songs about her six months of experiences in Jordan and elsewhere. The album claims to be the world's first Arabic-English uke record, and features covers of The Beatles and Celine Dion in addition to five fun originals. Look below for the free download!
Betsy's tunes have been included on compilations by QuickStar Productions of DC/MD and Series Two Records of NE, Worker Bee Records of IA , and she's always up for future collaborations.
Betsy and a Ukelele combine their fan-favorite originals with improvisational compositions, and covers of awful pop tunes that have been waiting to be destroyed for a very long time. Whether youβre in a dorm room, an apartment, a coffee shop, or Madison Square Garden, Betsy and a Ukelele want to play for you.
