Episode 136: Bethany Fulde Is an Indie-Rock Experimenter Who Has Handwritten Us a Note, Filed with Introspection, Motherhood and Curiosity

Mike and Kristen

Bethany Fulde’s new album Handwritten Notes is a stunning collection of songs that explore themes of searching, reflection, and questioning, with emotional outcomes that range from fulfilled to unresolved. Each track carries the weight of lived experience, delivered with her powerful vocal range that brings listeners on an intimate journey of the heart. In our conversation, Bethany shares the fun of her album release show at Gus’s Pub, where thoughtful touches—like handwritten notes left on tables, carefully curated stage decor, and expressive fashion—created an atmosphere that felt deeply personal and connected. We delve into the meaning of art, discussing how moments of “awe” are what make creative experiences truly transformative. Bethany also opens up about how motherhood has unlocked new layers of self-discovery, expanding her perspective on life and inspiring her to explore both inner and outer worlds in new ways.
