Eleven years ago Texas singer-songwriter Beth Wood kissed her day-job goodbye and hit the road to play music full-time. Since then, she has released seven independent albums, won many songwriting awards including the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Award, charted in the top 20 on the AAA radio charts, had a song featured on Fox Television’s “Party of Five”, sung our National Anthem at major league baseball and basketball games, and toured nationally as a solo artist. But most importantly to Beth, she has found a way to connect with others through her music. Beth is a high-energy communicator of joy, a modern-day troubadour with a killer voice, poetic lyrics, and wickedly strong guitar stylings. If you ask Thor Christensen at the Dallas Morning News about Beth, he’ll say, “a voice and songs this strong are bound to persevere.”
Nestled on the Ohio River, where north meets south, is the humble hamlet of Cincinnati, Ohio. Born in this hybrid culture of North, South and Midwest, Oval Opus has soaked up a little bit of charm, a little bit of honesty, and a lot of pop sensibility to mold their unique, yet universal sound. Spawned from a chance meeting on the campus of Miami University in Oxford, OH, Oval Opus has spent the last several years establishing themselves as one of the most successful independent touring acts in Ohio and the region. With soulful vocals, classic rock driven guitars and tight radio ready songs performed with the energy and virtuosity of their live rock shows, with their new album, Oval Opus showcases their diverse talent and deliver profound yet playful pop/rock tracks that separate them from your everyday rock band to something short of legendary. www.Ovalopus.com or www.myspace.com/ovalopus
The most vital acoustic music band made today acknowledges its predecessors and lives in the here and now. For four years now, The Duhks, the band of five skilled, high-energy, tattooed twenty-somethings from Winnipeg, Manitoba, has been riveting audiences and winning staunch fans across North America and around the world with just that kind of music. Blending soul, gospel, folk, samba, old time country and irish dance music, The Duhks are definitely a band to keep you eyes and ears on! Migrations, the title of their sophomore release, seems to speak for itself. The Canadian prairie band has toured relentlessly, played everything from rock halls to theatres to festivals, making the world their home. Time can only tell which direction the Duhks will fly to next, but one thing’s for certain—they will bring with them a sound unlike any other.
