Beth Lee and the Breakups

Based out of Austin, TX, Beth Lee grew up on the grit and soul of the Houston music scene, her dad a long time musician of the Bayou City. Since 2008, Beth has been playing live and recording her original music with Austin musicians that have an ear for her songwriting ability. Her influences span generations of blues, country, and rock 'n' roll greats that led her to a unique soulful, country-tinged brand of roots rock 'n' roll. With her 2013 release One More Time Again - and debut as Beth Lee & The Breakups - she began honing in and developing her energetic live performances. Her soulful, heart-on-your-sleeve songwriting style evolved to include a sultry, sassy, rock 'n' roll edge. Her last LP, Keep Your Mouth Shut, released in May 2016, garnered positive reviews from independent radio and roots publications, including a #19 rank on the Americana Music Show's year end list and a flattering review from KUTX's Laurie Gallardo, who coined the sound as "country-fried rock 'n' soul". It was also listed in Alternate Root Magazine and Third Coast Music Magazine as one of the year's top picks. Beth is releasing a new album February 12th, Waiting on You Tonight. The LP was produced in the Bay Area by Chuck Prophet & The Mission Express drummer Vicente Rodriguez, and features Rodriguez as well as Chuck Prophet guitarist James DePrato, and multi-instrumentalist Julie Wolf. Veering astray from her earlier honky-tonk influenced brand of rock ‘n’ roll, the album promises to be equal parts roots and rock with nods to girl groups and soul music from the sixties. Still performing live and touring with her roots rock band Beth Lee & The Breakups, Beth displays another dimension of her artistry and songwriting ability with her new record.
