Description

Beth came from a musical family, and working in her father's music store in small town Ottawa, Kansas exposed her to every style of music. It was there that she began to pick up the blues. In her teens Beth was drawn into the burgeoning new folk movement of the early '60s. She began playing guitar and singing, and soon she had a trio influenced by artists like Peter, Paul, and Mary, Joan Baez, and Bob Dylan. In college she played solo in the
coffeehouses in the Lawrence-Kansas City area. Her performances now featured original songs, but always included a core repertoire of blues songs like "St. James Infirmary" and "Come Back Baby."


In the '70s Beth played the Kansas City club and coffeehouse scene and did college and club concerts in the from Washington, DC to Seattle, Washington. She was tapped for the opening act when Manfred Mann came to
KC at the height of their popularity, and the rave reviews she received led to many more opening gigs, including Jean Luc-Ponty, Billy Joel, Arlo Guthrie, Richard Thompson, Steve Goodman, Koko Taylor, New Grass Revival, Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys, Jorma Kaukonen, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, Chris Smither, and many others. That Beth could reach audiences as diverse as this is a testament to her talent and to the accessibility of her music.

During the 1980's and 1990's Beth toured heavily in the midwest and across the country, and this double CD set documents some of those performances. Digitally remastered and remixed, the collection from several different sources has a sparkling clarity and satisfying cohesiveness. The CD is organized into two themes, with Disk One being all blues, and Disk Two reflecting the breadth of Beth's other material.

Since being diagnosed with MS in 2001 Beth has been spending more time writing and less time performing. She has been collaborating with longtime singing partner Kathryn Lorenzen and others, and a Lorenzen/Scalet duo CD is planned.
