"Music is probably this only real magic I have encountered in my life. There's not some trick involved with it. It's pure and it moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things." Tom Petty

Bentley Kalaway is an author and poetic singer/songwriter who desires to uplift and inspire others. She has spent most of her life immersed in music, writing songs and words and endlessly researching transformation and what makes the human spirit thrive. Bentley’s different decades of rock and roll guitar/singer in various bands, solo performances of covers, jazz standards and original music have now deposited her into her elderhood where she continues to deliver creative offerings to the world. Bentley’s CDs, SongCatcher (2018) and Sister Dragonfly (2022) are full of songs of possibility and encouragement, offering listeners moments of reflection. Soon to be released CDs Waxing and Waning and That’s What Light Does are slated for early 2025 release and another CD is in production.

Bentley contributed the first chapter to Marsh Engle’s compilation book “Dear Amazing Daughter: Awakening a New Conversation About Becoming the Amazing Women We Are Meant to Be.” In her eloquent and encouraging letter to her daughter, she describes how one life changing moment, met with courage and trust, put her on a path to becoming an evolutionary beacon and role model for the emergent, empowered and embodied feminine. Her second book as a published author, Live the Life you Dare to Dream: Engage the Power of Authentic Self Reflection to Create Your Desires is also due to arrive in early 2025. When Bentley isn’t busy creating, she’s outside on her 4 acre Maui farm, enjoying the views and the landscaping chores that are never ending in a tropical paradise.

Bentley also creates and edits her images and videos, herself, bringing a soul quality of authenticity to her creative expression that is one-of-a kind.

"Thank you Bentley Kalaway for sharing your music - every time I listen to your pieces I feel more grounded, centered, and safer. There is a knowing that flows.. Your light shines bright - looking forward to hearing more!"
