Beth with her trio, The Good Find (Thom Golub & Kevin Smith)
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 picnic basket). A one-of-a-kind experience that’s playful, fresh and in the moment.
Beth presents her music in a number of ways to suit a wide variety of audiences. Her solo picnic-themed concert is perfect for families, community events and schools; and her vintage-vibe presentations are aimed at an older audience. The latter can be performed solo or with her band, The Good Find. You can learn more about her themed picnic and holiday season concerts at the bottom of this page.
