notes

Beth Wood is a modern-day troubador, barefoot singer, award-winning songwriter, powerful vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, shameless harmonizer, poet, and communicator of joy.

Beth grew up in Lubbock, TX, where she was classically trained in piano, violin, harp and voice. After spending two years studying voice and piano at Brevard College in North Carolina, Beth moved on to The University of Texas, where she picked up a degree in Literature and her first guitar. While teaching herself guitar, she joined a band and became part of the Austin music scene. After a few years of playing around Austin in her band, and then in a duo, Beth kissed her day-job goodbye and returned to the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina to pursue music full-time. The natural beauty of her surroundings provided inspiration while the supportive community helped Beth to become a standout in the Asheville songwriters’ community. Now an established singer/songwriter, she resides in Arlington, Texas while continuously touring to support her seven independent releases.

Beth also loves sports, and one of her weird hobbies is performing the National Anthem. She has done so at several major sporting events, including Texas Rangers Major League Baseball (2001, 2002, 2003, 2004), Dallas Mavericks NBA Basketball (2004), and several minor league baseball and hockey events.

Beth says… "I feel blessed to have the opportunity to make music for a living! I want to continue making music I believe in, and to continue spreading the word about independent music. For me this journey is not just about the music - it's about the connections we make through music and recognizing the importance of art throughout our lives."

  • An Amazing Cd
    author: Erin

    This is a wonderful cd, my favorite song is My Miles Davis Kind of Blue! Check it out, all the songs are incredible!

  • A great introduction to the Wood sound
    author: Mark Newstrom

    I had not heard Beth's work before this CD hit the player. This music is not for the gentle listener, it grabs you from the first chord of Uncover You to the last strains of ...Black Lightning. The latter is the highlight of this CD, passionately told. A great set!

  • Consumate songstress, classic folk sound
    author: Joe McDonald

    A talented, consumate songstress, this album is a mix of mellow folk and hard edged soul, with a touch of blues. C'mon: cover a Richard Thompson song and make it almost BETTER than the original? She does and that alone makes this disc an instant MUST HAVE for any folk/rock collection
