Everly was an American folk musical duo formed in Battle Ground, Washington in 2008 by friends Bethany Joy Lenz and Amber Sweeney. Their debut EP, Mission Bell, was launched on iTunes.
Everly has already seen success with several projects, beginning with their three song EP titled Mission Bell. Since then, the duo has had continued success with a series of digitally released B Track albums that have been featured on the The CW hit television series, One Tree Hill, on which Lenz is an actor and director. Everly is signed with Hilasterion Records—and is set to record a full length album some time this year.
On November 29th, 2012, Lenz confirmed via her Twitter/WhoSay account that Everly have split and will no longer be making music.
Everly is the result of two friends, Bethany Joy Lenz and Amber Sweeney, deciding to collaborate and share their passion for music and storytelling. Lenz and Sweeney have been writing songs individually for as long as they can remember. In 2008 they created Everly, realizing that two songwriters are better than one. According to Lenz and Sweeney on the release of Mission Bell, "Everly is birthed of a friendship and a sisterhood that's been many years in the making, and we are proud to present this short collection of music as a "teaser" for what is to come."
On November 5, 2008, Everly released a three song, acoustic EP on iTunes entitled Mission Bell. It is an electric mix of country, folk and pop rock sounds. All songs are written and performed by Lenz and Sweeney. The duo released the EP through music outlets, iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby. Mission Bell featuring "Home Is Me - You Are Mine", "Stars", and "Little Children". On November 15, 2008, the duo released three additional tracks added onto Mission Bell titled "Hotel Café", "Mrs. Scott" and "Scheming Star", and a bonus track titled "Karen's Café", which was a specifically altered version of "Hotel Café" for an episode of Lenz's television series One Tree Hill.
