Coming in 2027. New family album & show 'Spring into Summer'. Stay tuned!
“Her voice is her primary instrument that drives her layers of harmonies, unique percussion and ukulele to delight our audiences.”
— Stu Muir, Artistic Director, New Moon Folk Club
With her uplifting mix of early jazz, swing, roots, and 50s pop, Beth Portman brightens the greyest of skies. A dynamic vocalist, ukulele player and songwriter. Beth expands her solo performances by incorporating layers of harmonies and percussion recorded live and pre-recorded on her looper station (neatly stored in a suitcase or picnic basket). A one-of-a-kind experience that’s playful, fresh and in the moment.
In 2020 Beth created her picnic-themed show and has appeared at festivals, music clubs, libraries, community events and private celebrations. Suitable for all ages and with special shows for families and the holidays, these mini-concerts are upbeat, colourful and a great way to bring community together. With her picnic blanket as her stage, Beth can transform any space into a joyful picnic spot anytime of year. Great for family-focused events and those wanting a nostalgic feel-good vibe.
