Cal Scott and Richard Moore welcome award-winning singer-songwriter Beth Wood to their bi-monthly circle at O’Connor’s in MultnomahVillage, 7850 S.W. Capitol Hwy Monday, April 1 at 7 p.m.
Beth stood out among the many singer-songwriters I heard at last year’s Sisters Folk Festival as a riveting presence on stage, whether solo or collaborating with her musical peers. She’s won a string of festival songwriting competitions, including the prestigious Kerrville, Texas contest in 2005. Here are a couple of quotes from around the country:
“A superb singer/songwriter whose versatility discourages labeling.” Fort Worth Star-Telegram
“Beth Wood is a musical triple-threat a thoughtful songwriter and talented multi-instrumentalist with a supple, soulful voice.” Washington Post
Beth, originally from Lubbock, Texas, but settled into Eugene, doesn’t spend much time in Oregon. http://www.bethwoodmusic.com/
The usual suspects bookending Beth will be Cal Scott, jack-of-many-genres who writes and performs with The Trail Band and Kevin Burke, and the word-witty and tunewise Richard Moore, likely to share a few more scenes from “Rain,” his musical-in-the-works about Portland.
Tickets are $12 each, from brownpapertickets.com or $15 at the door.
