American Opera is causing quite the stir in the midwest as of late. Yet, this comes as no surprise to fans of the Saginaw, Michigan musician. John Bee is a true talent in every meaning of the word.

Today, AO released a brand new song called “Lift Up This City” with Sean Murphy on the steel guitar, Joe Bonham on guitar, and Amy Brennan (vocalist of The Company We Keep) helping out with some vocal work.

This mellow number has an uplifting tone of power to it. The whispering vocals will draw you in for sudden surges in urgency that are held up and eventually carried through the end by Brennan’s hopeful backing vocals. Take a listen to “Lift Up This City” within the confines of this post.
