In your words...............
" Beth's return to music satisfies a long awaited 'need'. Her quiet, but intensely passionate, bluesy
style stirs an inner rumbling that starts slow and low but overtakes the senses. Her voice and lyrics
carry a calm wisdom and emotional depth born of experience and intense sincerity. A bonding occurs
between the audience and the performer when Beth weaves magic with her guitar and draws us 'in'
with her warm alto voice. The rhythms carry us along on a musical tether from which we'd rather not
be detached. Rather, we're left longing for more!". Marietta R.
" Beth's music comes from a deep and nurturing well of mindful experience and grace. There is a
grounded calm emanating from her music and lyrics. Beth "shows up". Kymn W.
" Beth Jochum's songs are like paintings, her lyrics provide the details while the melody and intonation
provide the color scheme. Some of these sound-paintings are of physical landscapes, others depict
the landscape of human relationships or the landscape of thoughts." Mario N.
" What I love most about Beth's music is her beautiful, mellow voice accompanied by solid, consistent
guitar playing . I love her references to nature and gentle references to accepting differences.".

" I think Beth's 1311 cd holds up to her very best work. Lyrically it is the closest to poetry that music
can be and her playing is phenomenal. Like the best art, it still gives me goosebumps every time I play
it. Beth's a rebel rocker. Bluesologist, wordsmithereen, and mother folker...One funky lady."
