Bess McCrary

Based in New York City, Bess McCrary is an alchemist of both pain and joy, her brave songwriting and profound lyrics providing purpose for her unique, classically trained voice. A North Carolina native and lifelong performer, Bess has always crossed genre lines and let her most personal experiences dictate the path her music takes. In 2013, her first full-length album, “for Happy,” was released as a love letter to her late mother. “Resurrect Me,” her latest LP scheduled for release in Spring 2015, is another powerful collection of songs inspired by McCrary’s own recent bout with cancer—an experience that caused permanent nerve damage to her voice, but left her spirit and talent intact. Recently chosen as an Artist-in-Residence by the Serenbe Community for May 2015, Bess also performs regularly around the country with her full band and smaller ensembles.
