A singer-songwriter with roots in the classical tradition, Beverly writes songs that embody "an extraordinary mixture of poetry and observation, a gentle lyricism that seems to arise simply, organically from [their] experience and observation." Originally a classically trained trumpet player and child of a bandleader, Beverly picked up the guitar as a break from coursework as a music student. Falling in love with the intimacy of the singer-songwriter tradition, Beverly traded Beethoven for Bob Dylan and never looked back. Beverly's music is driven by evocative and intelligent lyrics, with an acoustic, folk-influenced sound. Drawing from influences such as Ryan Adams, Josh Ritter, Chris Pureka, and Gregory Alan Isakov, Beverly is quickly growing a canon of well-crafted, winsome songs. http://www.beverlystokesmusic.com All These Dotted Lines Out Now http://beverlystokesmusic.com
