Beard-o-Bees

Today I bring you some of my personal photos of a special solo artist project I’ve been keeping up with the last month or so! Beard-o-Bees is the dj solo project of Jesse Miller, the bass and sampler player in the band Lotus.

I had the opportunity to catch him open for The Malah at the Bluebird last weekend and boy was I glad I went! His solo project incorporates an entirely different style of sound and musical performance unlike many other jam-band style musician’s solo project’s I have seen prior. Original and eloquent in his dj sound, described simply I would call it a much more techo-hop electronica style of performance but not to be myxed up with what you might find under the roof of a divy nightclub. The sound of Beard-O-Bees is just as original as watching the entire Lotus band on stage and yet it is a performance by just one of the members! If that doesn’t show the true musical talent that seems to be second nature to this guy then I’m not sure what does! Not only did my first experience with this solo project warrant such an EPIC shout out, in addition, Lotus also has an upcoming show at Red Rocks in a few weeks that I wanted to announce and promote! ENJOY!
