Beth // James: “Wasted on Sundays”

By: Jack Anderson

Mikaela Beth Kahn and Jordan James Burchill met just over a decade ago while studying music, and now masters of indie folk, they’re known around Austin as Beth // James. It’s only been three years since the duo began formally writing together but their longtime bond has lent itself to the charm, sincerity and heart within Beth // James’ music. In 2017 Beth // James released their debut EP All In Life, and last year their song “Lion Eyes” made its way into Spike Lee’s Oscar-nominated BlackKklansman.

Blending American tradition, modern folk and hints of indie pop and rock, Beth // James drops their sophomore record, Falling, this Friday! Join them for the release show that night at the Cactus Cafe and enjoy one third of Falling with “Wasted on Sundays”!
