BIO
Beth Moore has been writing and performing her beautiful interpretation of modern folk since 2006. With her roots in the Niagara Region, Canada she quickly gained hometown recognition and has since built a name for herself in the music mecca of Toronto, On., and Southern Ontario. She's currently moving from an award winning regional artist to exploding onto the national music scene.
Beth was recently named “Artist of the Year” and “Folk Artist of the Year” at the 2011 Niagara Music Awards. She has also garnered two Toronto Independant Music Awards. These followed success as the NMA 2010 Adult Contemporary Artist of the Year.
Beth tours constantly, and has played over 400 live shows including high profile events such as the 2012 Canada Day Concert on Major's Hill in Ottawa, and prestigious festivals across southern Ontario including Scene Fest, In the Soil, and Toronto’s Indie Week. She recently performed at the premiere of the U.S. Documentary ‘A Second Knock at the Door’ which features three of Beth’s songs. Her music has also been licensed to hit shows like Degrassi.
In late 2011 Beth started on the self-activated mission to play 500 shows by 2015, which she calls “500 x 15”.
Her song writing has been praised as honest, to the point and from the heart. Listeners are quickly drawn by the intimacy of the lyric and vocal delivery.
“I write about what I know, and I do it as honestly as I know how,” says Beth.
At first, she utilized the internet and all it has to offer independent artists in compliance with a consistent live show schedule. She was able to post new songs online as they developed. As her online presence grew to over 2500 fans and over 60,000 online plays, Beth started to plan for the future by releasing her debut LP ‘The Road’ released January 2011. The album is available on iTunes and at shows. She is currently recording a new record with award-winning producer Timothy Abraham (Rob Szabo, Peter Katz, Glen Hansard, Ron Sexsmith, Grand Analog, Garth Hudson). The album has already recieved the Factor Independent Loan as well as the OAC popular music grant. Track 'Love Now' also won the CBC 1 Expand your bandwidth contest (over 80 bands and 44,000 votes).
Beth has collaborated with Niagara film maker Jason Lupish to execute two Music videos for her songs ‘ The Road ‘ and ‘So Far So Good.’
Beth’s goal is to bring the joy, peace, and meaning that she finds in music to her ever-expanding group of listeners.
