Northwind Arts Center joins Matt Miner Presents in welcoming Lubbock, Texas native Beth Wood for an evening of sweet and sassy song, Friday March 23 at 7:00pm. Media sponsor for this series is KPTZ-FM radio.
Beth Wood is a modern-day troubadour and believer in the power of song. For twenty years she has been delighting and inspiring audiences with her exceptional musicianship, intelligent songwriting, powerhouse voice, and warm and commanding stage presence.
Beth grew up in the musically-rich town of Lubbock, TX with her moms classical tapes playing in the car, her dads Willie Nelson records spinning in the living room, her brothers Foreigner and Heart 8-track tapes blasting in his room, and her own little radio which she would hide under the covers and search late into the night for songs with womens voices.
Beths skills in the craft of songwriting have been recognized by the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Award, The Sisters Folk Festival Dave Carter Memorial Songwriting Award, the Billboard World Song Contest, and many more. There have been incredible and surreal moments in the spotlight: opening for Steve Winwood, Michael McDonald and Shawn Colvin; being a four-time featured artist on Cayamo, a week-long Caribbean songwriters cruise along with most of her living musical heroes and singing the national anthem for 42,000 people at a major league baseball game.
But what matters to Beth more than awards or sales or big spotlight moments is connecting with people through music night after night. Her mission is to communicate joy. Its what keeps the songs coming and the words turning. Its what keeps her dreaming in music at night.
A superb singer/songwriter whose versatility discourages labeling. Fort Worth Star-Telegram
