Album Notes

Beth Waters is a performing singer/songwriter/pianist from San Francisco, California. Waters released her second full-length album, "Beth Waters", nationally in March 2004.

Produced by Michael Winger (Tim Bluhm of The Mother Hips), the album is collection of twelve songs with delicately blend piano, voice, acoustic and electronic elements into a warm spacious sound. Waters appropriately self-titles this album because of the lyrical content.

The album features drumming by Ben Mize formerly of The Counting Crows, is mixed by Joel Jaffe at the legendary "Studio D" (Sausalito, CA) and was mastered at "The Plant Mastering Studio" (Sausalito, CA) by John Cuniberti.

The album is already attracting the attention the entertainment industry and press. "Sweaters," the lead track from Waters' new album, was featured in its entirety in a January 2004 episode of Lifetime Television's drama "1-800-Missing." Another song from Waters' new album, "Blue and White," was featured in an episode of The WB Network's "One Tree Hill" in December 2003.

In the March 2004 issue of Performing Songwriter, Clay Steakley writes, "These songs glimmer like a glass of red wine in candlelight. They're dark, rich and whisperingly intimate. A virtuosic blend of moody Tori Amos piano work and Sarah McLachlan harmony bending, Waters' self-titled release is startling in its depth of texture and lyric...Waters has a firm grasp on the power in the dynamics of her playing and the close, secretive delivery of her vocals."

Waters was also featured in the November 2003 issue of Jane Magazine, the Nov/Dec 2003 issue of Women Who Rock Magazine and the Winter 2003 issue of Independent Musician Magazine. "Sweaters" was also published in, "New Songs For Peace," an official United Nations program in November 2003.

"Sweaters" has been airing on San Francisco radio waves on both KFOG 104.5 FM and KPFA 94.1 FM. Waters has performed at such notable venues as The Chronicle Pavilion (Concord CA) opening for Savage Garden, The Roxy (Los Angeles CA), The Knitting Factory (Hollywood CA), Slim's (San Francisco CA) opening for Stereophonics, Freight and Salvage (Berkeley CA) and Mississippi Studio's (Portland OR).

The San Francisco Chronicle calls Beth's music, "...gorgeous, bittersweet...if given the right care, could someday devour VH1."
