Featured Nominated Artist: Bethnie Rose

An Indie Singer/Songwriter playing original music that's a fresh mix of Rock & Soul, giving live performances that are both riveting & passionate - "Bethnie Rose Music - Facebook"

Hailing from Oklahoma, U.S.A meet Bethnie Rose, a highly talented, highly funny and also a self admitted Smile Radio Stalker ( we joke on the last part... or do we?).

Her music style is a mix of Rock, Pop, Folk and a dash of soul taking her influences from some great artists, some considered Godfathers and Mothers of their genre such as, Coheed and Cambria, Janis Joplin, Mumford and Sons, Led Zeplin, Kings of Leon and much, much more, Bethnie uses these influences and like a mistress of musical magic puts together her own tracks, that come from the heart, inspired by her own journey on the bumpy road that is life!

Writing her first song at 7 years old and learning to play the acoustic guitar at 13, she had early influences of Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bonnie Raitt, The Doobie Brothers and Led Zeppelin, and later added Dave Matthews Band, Big Wreck and Brandi Carlile.
Her desire as a musician is to express the vast emotions of the heart, and hopefully provoking the emotions of the listeners.
Her very 1st album was a 5 song EP of original music that was released June 7th of 2019.

In between making music Bethnie keeps busy by engaging with her fanbase on social media, doing live performances throughout Oklahoma and Texas touring with her band, with a hope to take her journey global. In the meantime you can listen to Bethnie's own blend of awesomeness any of your favourite streaming platforms (Spotify, Itunes, Apple Music, Google Play, Amazon and Youtube Music)

Bethnie is nominated in the following categories: E.P, Rock, Alternative & Newcomer. Keep your ears open over the next month and don't forget to vote for Bethnie Rose when the Smile Radio Indie Awards public vote goes live!

As the world is seemingly hell-bent on venturing into greater turmoil and turbulence it springs a labyrinth of possibilities; those fuelled in hope and others through destruction. It is a pre-apocalyptic landscape which ‘Visions Of The Blinded World pt I & II’ explores and embraces in its open eyed reflection.

Rich N' Chris at the Live Rooms with the Hijacked & Just John

A cold miserable Saturday evening in Cleckheaton can't be described as the ideal night out but a visit to The Live Rooms proved to be a real musical & social eyeopener.

The front of the building doesn’t give credit to the interior which as that faint smell of people smoking in a bright, musical memorabilia adorning the walls.
