Video killed the radio star...

Good thing I'm not a radio star. :) Here are some video clips from my Colorado photo shoot extravaganza with Lynsey Peterson. Videography by Eric Paton. I know I blink a lot and make some "interesting" fashion choices, but I hope you can still enjoy all the jive!

Little Miss Sunshine...

Gotta love Youtube freeze-frames!!! I always feel SUPER attractive. ;)


I JUST WANNA BE HAPPY
TO HEAR PEOPLE LAUGHING
AND NOT HAVE TO FAKE A SMILE

I JUST WANNA BE HAPPY
DON'T FEEL LIKE I'M ASKING
TOO MUCH FROM THE BRIGHT SIDE

THE SUN NEVER SHINES UNLESS
YOU OPEN YOUR EYES TO IT
I'M OUT TO FIND LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE

I BELIEVE I CAN FIND HER
SHE NEEDS A REMINDER
NO ONE CAN PRESS REWIND

LEARN TO LIVE IN THE MOMENT
KNOW THAT YOU OWN IT
LIFE IS A STATE OF MIND

STEP OUTSIDE, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL WORLD
HERE SHE COMES, IT'S A BRAVE NEW GIRL

My hippy name...

I just took the incredibly accurate "What is Your Hippy Name" quiz on Facebook. And the results are in...

FREEDOM DAISY SUNSHINE

I knew 3 sisters that went to my high school and their names were Freedom, Autumn, and Rainbow. I'm rather fond of odd/unique names, so this pleased me. :)

Fight4Love...

I just finished this new song. Inspired by a friend of mine:



i feel like we're losing
our will to survive
i feel like we're choosing
two different sides
we've always been king & queen
now we live like enemies
but i won't let this die

SOMETIMES YOU'VE GOTTA FIGHT FOR LOVE
PUT 'EM UP
AND LET YOUR GUARD COME DOWN
WHEN YOU'D GIVE YOUR LIFE FOR ONE
DON'T GIVE UP
PASSION EQUALS POWER
I LOVE YOU SO INTENSE
I LOVE YOU EVEN WHEN I'M WOUNDED

oh we used to offer
our words in a bow
now we need armor
inside our home
we both are hurt in our chest
we deserve happiness
no more stupid pride

i'll take the battle scars, if i must
if you will try for us

fight for love
please fight for what
our family deserves
you know how much
we need your touch
i know what you're worth
I LOVE YOU SO INTENSE
I LOVE YOU EVEN WHEN I'M WOUNDED

New Unauthorized Beth Biography!!

Not really. I wrote it myself. It's not easy to write stuff about yourself, but I realized that there was no bio information on any of my multitude of websites. Here we go...

I consider myself one of the lucky ones...I discovered something I'm completely passionate about at a young age. And that's all any of us really need to be happy...something to be excited about!

But I don't know if I found it or it found me. My maiden name was Singer, I once lived on Speaker Rd, and I was making up songs and singing solos in Church by the time I was 5. I really feel like God has been guiding me into this since I was a little girl. He not only gave me a voice, but also the choice to use it.

I grew up in several little towns in Oregon. Recorded my first demo when I was barely 14, started performing with bands that same year, met my amazing Husband when I was 15 (he played guitar on my 1st CD & was the 1999 National Flatpicking Champion), I sang in front of over 20,000 people by the time I was 16, made an album in Nashville when I was 17, opened for major acts before I was 18, and was performing 6 nights a week when my 19th Birthday rolled around.

I won over a dozen "Indie Artist" awards during my teen years, but when it was time for my 20's, this thing called "real life" took over. I moved out on my own for the first time, started working a day job, married my sweetheart, bought a house, and found that music still owns me...

So we packed up our little cars (Tucker & Chloe) and headed East to Austin, Texas - the "Live Music Capital of the World". We had our condo-buying experience chronicled on an episode of HGTV's House Hunters and quickly settled into our lovely new life. We now own an Advertising/Marketing/Design Agency in Downtown Austin and have been so blessed to find friends that love life as much as we do!

Songwriting is currently my biggest thrill. My ambition is to write for other artists and for special projects. I'm about to release my new album "Minutes With You" in 2008, and one of the most personal songs we've recorded pretty much sums up my emotional state...I Am From Hopeful.
