Smart, funny and engaging, singer-songwriter Beth Portman's music is crafted out of a love for the emerging sounds of early- and mid- 20th century music. With catchy, melodic lines and lyrics that exhibit poignancy and humour, Beth's rich-toned powerful voice has been compared to those of k.d. lang and Maria Muldaur.

Accompanying herself on that 1920s jazz instrument, the ukulele, this songstress can be presented as a duo or a trio depending on the venue. The result is a musical collage of swing, folk, jazz and country that's upbeat, whimsical and a delight to the ears.

Portman is based in Edmonton, Alberta.
