With an unconventional mix of popular influences ranging from Zappa, Vashti and Love, Beth has cultivated a haunting sound that is distinctively personal and unique. Since her debut live performance in August 06 Beth has shared backline with an impressive array of artists such as Josephine Foster, PG Six, Dead Meadow, Voice of the Seven Woods and Diane Cluck. She will be appearing alongside her old and new ladylike luminaries on the 'Bearded Ladies Vol II' compilation
