Bethany Zill
Music For Kids
Bethany grew up near Wildrose, a small town in the Northwest corner of
North Dakota. Beth grew up riding horses and living the country
life. Her father was, and still is, a rancher and wheat fawmaer. "There
was always something to do like riding horses or milking a cow. Some
kids didn't like helping on the fawma, but I did. I was my Dad's right-hand
man. Living on a ranch or fawma is the best way for children to grow up.”
Music was a highlight of Bethany's childhood. As a little girl,
she loved to sit at her grandpa's feet and listen to him play old-time
music on his fiddle. Songs like Mockingbird Hill and Put On Your Old Grey
Bonnet captivated her with their lighthearted tone and positive lyrics. Her
great aunt sang, yodeled and accompanied her grandpa on the guitar or mandolin.
As a songwriter and musician, Bethany sings and plays several
instruments, performing classic cowboy and old-time music in a fresh
style. “Ever since I can remember, I wanted to be just like my
grandparents," says Bethany. “No matter where I go, it’s the yodeling
songs that are the favorite and most-requested. People aren’t used to
seeing someone of my generation yodel.” Bethany has performed in places
such as the historic Theater in Sheridan, Wyoming; the Beartrap Summer
Festival in Casper, Wyoming; and county fairs statewide.
