You wouldn't guess when you listen to her new album, "Songs for the Ravens," that 25-year-old singer-songwriter Julie "Julie Bee" Baenziger hadn't heard The Beatles or the Rolling Stones a year ago. "I didn't grow up listening to music except for my mom's Barbra Streisand and Cher," said the lead singer and main creative force behind Sea of Bees. "I've been kind of sheltered my whole life, so it was like a whole new world for me." Sea of Bees, which is sometimes just Baenziger and other time... jmendick Cameron Marsh comment-31036 2010-06-23T17:10:55Z 2010-06-23T17:10:55Z Nice removing of my comments SacramentoPress, welcome to 1984. I guess a discussion of sociologoical stereotypes and cultures is not allowed to be discussed or debated.

The alternative to mentioning an underexposure to popular music might be to conceal it. What would be more honest? It makes good copy -- but that doesn't make it 1) untrue, nor 2) a crutch. Then again, there is someone here who truly knows EVERYTHING, and that person seems to believe that giving an artist in their first full year of public exposure the benefit of the doubt is just a little bit too much to ask. Ah, the wisdom at hand. jtaylor475 2010-06-22T23:28:42Z Lindol French comment-30896 2010-06-23T13:30:25Z 2010-06-23T13:30:25Z I had a chance to listen to some of their music and what I heard was really good. She has an amazing and unique voice. She has no need to nurture an affectation as "the girl who never heard a popular rock song before". She is too gifted an artist to use that crutch. Leave that to those who aren't so talented.

What makes this artist so compelling is it isn't bs. One minute of conversation with Jules would tell you that. jtaylor475 2010-06-22T00:19:51Z mtsacramento comment-30695 2010-06-18T16:16:50Z 2010-06-18T16:16:50Z Welcome to Sacramento - where everyone under 30 is considered a hipster. mtsacramento 2010-06-18T16:16:50Z Elisa Hough comment-30641 2010-06-18T02:02:36Z 2010-06-18T02:02:36Z Maybe listen before you judge by looks!

Typical hipster from the look of her, attitude and the description of the music. Never heard a Rolling Stones song, that made my day lol.

Being a musician and living 24 years without ever hearing the Beatles or Rolling Stones is another thing all together. Did she grow up under a rock? Locked in a basement? On the Dark Side of the Moon? (The actual dark side of the Moon, not the Pink Floyd album, cause I assume she never heard it). How does something like that happen? Fascinating.
