Night Teacher is the project of lead singer-songwriter Lilly Bechtel, whose haunting voice and poetic lyrics weave elements of doom-folk and alt-rock to create an experience that listeners have described as part seance, part lullaby. Since the 2020 release of her debut record Night Teacher, Bechtel has been featured on NPR, won Best Song in the Experimental Film and Music Video festival and was noted by the music magazine Relix as an “artist to pay attention to.”
In February 2023 Bechtel released an EP, Dear Ellen, and she is currently working on her second full-length album, to be released in October 2025.
In a time when so many of us are seeking what power might emerge from grief, Night Teacher’s music thrives inside that question; what beauty may be drawn from shadow, and what melodies might be sung only after it doesn’t all work out.

(All Night Teacher music is recorded with producer, engineer and multi-instrumentalist Matt Wyatt at Tree and Booms Studio in Charlottesville, Virginia.)
