AFTER her acclaimed debut album Songs For The Ravens, Sea of Bees – Sacramento-born and -based Julie Ann Baenziger – returns with a new album, ‘Orangefarben’ on April  9 on Heavenly Recordings.

Orangefarben - German for ‘the colour of orange’ – comprises ten original songs and a cover of John Denver’s “Leaving On A Jet Plane."

Baenziger was discovered by John Baccigaluppi, owner of Hangar Studios, who provided the means to record her debut EP Bee Eee Pee, which led to Heavenly signing her and releasing Songs For The Ravens in February 2011 and now Orangefarben, both of which Baccigaluppi produced at Hangar.

Well worth a look when she rolls into Manchester in April. Tickets are £8.50 and are onsale now www.gigsandtours.com / 0844 811 0051.
