Beth Wood is a modern-day troubadour poet and believer in the power of song, she’s been writing, performing, recording and touring for most of my adult life. These adventures have resulted in thousands of live shows, boatloads of wonderful memories and collaborations, and countless weird situations that all add up to a life as a full time musician and artist. Beth has released twelve solo CDs, one duo collaboration project, three books of poetry, and a book of awkward stories from the road. This year she released a live album called Home By Dark Live and a third book of poetry called Believe The Bird.
“A voice and songs this strong are bound to persevere.” — Dallas Morning News
“Beth Wood is a musical triple-threat — a thoughtful songwriter and talented multi-instrumentalist with a supple, soulful voice.” — Washington Post
