Biography
From Cincinnati, Ohio, THE NEWBEES began their songwriting partnership in May 2004. They developed an immediate connection through their love of harmony, upbeat melodies, and shared retro influences. Describing their unique sound, CityBeat's Mike Breen wrote "the band's pop songs are especially impressive recalling The Beatles and early ELO in the best way possible." The addition of a live string quartet has further enhanced The Newbees sound and live experience.
Since their debut, The Newbees have played regularly at venues and festivals including The Motor City Music Conference, The Midwest Entertainment Industry Conference, Taste of Cincinnati, and the Midpoint Music Festival. They have appeared on radio stations throughout the country including local favorites WNKU 89.7 and WAIF 88.3.
