Beth Cahill
Beth was born in Evanston Illinois, but has been and lived just about
everywhere since. She started out as a classical musician, playing the
French Horn, and later took up singing and songwriting. A life long
love affair with the mandolin lead her to explore other instruments
that speak to the world in fifths (tenor guitar, mandola and cittern).
This tonal structure, her off-the-beaten-path view of the world, and
her voice are the foundations of her sound. Beth has appeared on major
regional stages including Kerrville Folk Festival, Festival Memoire et
Racines, The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, the PBS syndicated
television show The Texas Music Café and WFMT's Folkstage. She has
been a Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Finalist and has also been
fortunate to share the stage with some great artists including: Eliza
Gilkyson, Jack Hardy, Jeff Lang and Maura O'Connell. She now lives
in Wakefield, Quebec, but tours extensively across North America;
both as a solo artist and as part of The Malvinas.
