Beth Miner is a true artist with an authentic love of craft that you can see and feel. I recommend frequent visits to Beth Central for a quiet little respite from the World. Heck, if you only visit one website this year, make it Bethminer.com! Like soothing Xanax for the eyes - Beautiful, insightful and true - The portraits are gorgeous and carry a little spark of the playful elegance that is Beth. Beth in all of her "Bethness." I love it. Don't just bookmark - Make it your homepage!

Beth Who?
My name is Beth. Short for Elisabeth Juliana. I was loosely named after a song called "I'm Not Lisa (my name is Julie)" by Jessi Colter. I'm a spirited singer/songwriter and a passionate dreamer. I wear too much pink.
I've been in Nashville since October 2009. Grew up in the magical land of Oregon, then spent 3.5 hot tamale years in Austin, Texas, where HGTV filmed my husband & I playing music and shopping for a condo in an episode of House Hunters.
I started performing when I was five years old and took my first piano lesson that same year, conquering a one-note song called "C The Sea Lion" like a boss. Growing up, my sweet mama would always sing silly songs to me - compositions about bunnies and trapezes and romance. I credit those times for my obsession with colorful lyrics.
I realized I have a knack for this lil ol' writing thang when one of my first original songs, a piano ballad called "Perfectly", received over 30,000 paid downloads in one month after being featured in an MP3.com newsletter. Around that same time, I was delighted to dress up all fancy and accept about a dozen indie artist awards, including "Female Future Star", "Horizon Award", "New Female Vocalist of the Year", "Website of the Year", "Female Vocalist of the Year", and "Female Entertainer of the Year", from various organizations.
I've done the National Anthem for lots of sporty spice folks, like the Portland Trailblazers, Seattle Supersonics, Portland Fire, UofO Ducks and others; opened for artists like Neal McCoy, Jo Dee Messina, The Doobie Brothers and The Beach Boys; had a song ("Run Away With You") featured in an indie film; and I've recorded 4 CDs, including my first solo album of all self-penned numbers, called "Minutes With You".
In 2008, I spent some time in Hollywood after being cast on a now defunct CBS reality show. Twenty aught nine was the year I decided it was time to take over the world, so we sold practically everything we owned and moved to Tennessee. I live downtown in a small loft with no TV, no kids, no pets, but plenty of vegan food, musical instruments and love.
My goal is to be a staff writer with a publishing company, while still releasing my own ditties of charm & wonderment. I'm giving it all I've got, sometimes more! Thanks for following me down this yellow brick road. xo.
Colleen Once Said:
Just heard "Cape in the Laundry" on American Songspace. Love it!!! Excellent song, really well-written, and I think you should get it released to country radio. I think it would be a huge hit there! :)
