Georgia-born, Bay Area-based singer-songwriter Kelly McFarling released Bed of a River, a beautiful collection of gentle but soulful alternative folk songs based on snippets, phrases, and poems from those surreal, quiet, lonely months of social distancing amid the early pandemic. Pieced together like a puzzle over the past two years with her husband Andrew Brennan, the album is a modern take on the golden California folk rock sound. Regardless of genre, Kelly McFarling is one of the Bay Area’s most talented songwriters and someone to keep an eye on as her accolades grow.
