"A Stunning Voice!--- "Her songwriting and guitar work are extraordinary.--- "The Amsel Voice...it's simply one of the most beautiful on today's folk scene."

Beth, a founding member of the music road show Voices on the Verge, takes inspiration from diverse corners of the music world including Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty, Maria McKee, & The Darkness. She is currently in the studio recording the follow up to her 2001 release, Kindling."
