Beth grew up in Houston, Texas, the daughter of a musician father.  Following alongside her parents at icehouses, dive bars, and honky-tonks, she adopted the grit and soul of the Houston music scene at an early age.  After moving to Austin to find out what the "live music capitol of the world" was about, she decided it was time to go into the studio and start a band.  She enlisted the help of Ron Flynt and Scrappy Jud Newcomb, two well-respected musicians in the Austin scene.  After the release of her debut album, "Cassette Tapes and Cash Money"  in 2008, Beth was mentioned in Rob Patterson's Sidetracks column in Texas Music Magazine as a musician to "keep an ear peeled" for. She stands at "the crossroads where roots and rock meet, like a sweet, sad angel ready to deal with the devil in all of us". She currently plays shows around the Austin area, most recently with local Houston transplants: bass-player Jessica Will, guitarist Adam Burchfield, and drummer Joel Duhon.  They formed the "Breakups" in 2011.  Joel's hard-hitting drums, Adam's rockabilly guitar licks, Jessica's bluesy bass lines, and Beth's soulful songwriting create a sound that is feisty yet vulnerable, unapologetic yet heartbroken.
