BETH WOOD is modern-day troubadour and a force to be reckoned with. Her exceptional musicianship, crafty songwriting, and commanding stage presence have been winning over American audi- ences for fifteen years. Beth's music is soulful, organic, intelligent, barefoot, high-energy communication of joy. With grandiose dreams of becoming a musician, Beth left west Texas to study voice and piano at Brevard College in North Carolina. A detour from her classical studies led her to Austin, where she picked up a degree in literature and a guitar. Beth began writing her own songs and quickly discovered a feeling of musical freedom. Fifteen years, thousands of shows, nine albums, three cars, and numerous awards later, Beth has never looked back.
“The Weather Inside”, Beth’s eighth studio release, is a case study in contrast. A coming-of-age statement record from a veteran artist, Beth’s latest work embraces strength and tenderness, the polished and the well-worn, the broken and the hopeful heart. Produced by Billy Crockett at Blue Rock Studio in Wimberley, TX, “The Weather Inside” delves deep into Beth’s creative reserves and delivers a strong collection of songs and performances to remember. Beth is currently one of the featured artists on "Troubadour, TX", a nationally syndicated documentary-style singer-songwriter reality television series produced by Dallas based London Broadcasting and 41 Entertainment and airing in almost 40 million households and 140 U.S. markets.
CHRIS ROSSER is a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, composer and producer. As a solo singer-songwriter, he tours nationally playing at festivals, clubs and listening rooms. As a member of the world-jazz instrumental trio, Free Planet Radio, he plays a variety of instruments, including the Indian dotar, Turkish cumbus oud, guitars, melodica and piano. As a producer, he has produced about forty recordings for various artists in his Asheville, NC based studio Hollow Reed Studio. Chris has released three solo recordings: "Hidden Everywhere" (2006), "The Holy Fool" (2000) and "Archaeology" (1998), a trio recording with Free Planet Radio New Bedouin Dance(2004), and an earlier duo recording with his wife Lynn, "Face The East" (1995).
He has won songwriting contests at the Rocky Mountain Folks and Merle Watson festivals, been selected as a New Folk Finalist and appeared on the mainstage at the Kerrville Folk Festival and showcased twice at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. With the help of a 1999 WNC Regional Artists grant, he continued his studies of Hindustani classical music and the sarod (a 25-string fretless Indian lute) with world famous Indian musician Ali Akbar Khan in San Rafael, CA. He was awarded a 2003 Songwriter/Composer fellowship from the NC Arts Council.
In 1997, Chris' debut solo recording Archaeology won the favor of fans, critics and radio stations alike, landing in the Top 30 of The Gavin Report and Crossroadscharts. It was also selected as one of the top independent albums of the year by Christine Lavin, the Internet FolkVote '97, The Performing Songwriter and more. He has since shared stages with folk and pop luminaries such as Nickel Creek, John Mayer, Shawn Mullins, John Gorka, David Wilcox, Tom Rush and more, and had his songs recorded by Tom Prasada-Rao (Christmas in the Ashram) and Blueground Undergrass (Archaeology).
