Tour Date Roundup: Sea of Bees, Thee Oh Sees, Amy LaVere

That voice… a little over a year and a half ago Sea Of Bees quietly released Songs For The Ravens on Crossbill Records and her haunting vocals echoed out through the world. Looking back, it’s hard to believe that it’s only been eighteen months. This period has seen Jules Bee signing with Heavenly Records in the UK, full tours of North America and Europe, accolades from MOJO, NPR, BBC, Spin and so many more. Even a performance at the notorious Glastonbury Festival came in the wake of Songs For The Ravens. After extensive touring in support of Songs For the Ravens, Sea of Bees returns to her creative home, the Hangar in Sacramento, and invites friends to an intimate concert that features stripped down renditions of her most favorite songs.
