"Pretty good thought provoking Lou Reed style punk ... or something!"
"I am the bastard love child of Janis Joplin & Jim Morrison, except that one day while Jimbo took a trip in the desert, Janis was in NYC banging Lou Reed. It's all a little fuzzy from there ...
and yes, I'm actually a girl! ... well, currently

NEW "Aardvark" EP - OFFICIAL RELEASE AUGUST 1, 2009
The reviews are coming in:
• "A Fringe-Fest performer, and alternative in the extreme, Isbell is an artist whose every note is invested with an edgy, subversive quality. These are the songs of a message artist, one whose lyrics are primary. Isbell emits an outsider essence that we find compelling."
- Music Connection magazine (Aug 2009 issue, p. 48)(a leading national magazine for indie music!)
• "Beth Isbell is an edgy, lyric-based performer who never fails to invoke emotion with her music. You’ll be entertained by her writing, her unique vocal style, and her innovative uses of technology to make this mostly bare-bones release shine. The symbolism is thick and exists on so many levels. This is alternative art at its best; shunning the mainstream and shouting the message."
- Lucky Boyd, My Texas Music (Jul 27, 2009)
• "It's a very special little Aardvark, mighty and strong, not overproduced, raw and real - I love it!!" Red Parlor Records recording artist Manda Mosher (who recently performed on the Craig Ferguson show!)
• TAXI Top 10 Songwriter/Artist pick July 2008; 2 category finalist 2008 USA Songwriting Contest!

"Every song is a good song & every performance is good in it's own unique way. I believe in putting my heart & soul into my songs & performance, but these days it just seems like everybody only wants overproduced static perfection. Maybe there's no room for this kind of thing anymore." Beth Isbell
Artist currently seeking booking, management, producer, publisher ... & as always, gigs!
Peace,
Beth Isbell
