Right from the very first moment of meeting Beth, I felt at ease and comfortable - she has a lovely warm smile and easy going personality. She sang, she danced, she played guitar; AND after all the songs that she accommodated based on my requests, she also let my partner try out her amazing Gibson guitar. Would absolutely recommend Beth for both intimate gatherings and larger parties. She is just lovely and an all round fantastic artist.
Thank you so much, the girls loved it!
Response from Beth Richard:
It was truly my pleasure!!
Beth wrote a song for my dad"s birthday based on what I told her about him. Unbelievably touching. She really captured him. She"s a great musician - she sings beautifully and plays a mean guitar and she is cute as a button.
Response from Beth Richard:
WOW! Thank you so much. It was a very special moment. Allison wanted a birthday song for her dad as he was born on leap year so even tho he is 88, it's only his 22nd birthday! She gave me details about his life and I was able to write him a song named Lucky Man! He really loved it and the family was so sweet. I ended up with a full heart and a bag of lemons and limes to boot!
We hired Beth to make my best friend feel special and “not forgotten” on her birthday, and she did just that! We asked that she would surprise my friend at work and sing happy birthday in English and in Spanish, and Beth offered to do the Beatles song as well. Showed up with a speaker and fun socks and a tambourine and everything!! LOL. My friend felt loved and we all enjoyed it. Thank you so much Beth!
Beth was great. She enjoyed singing the songs which made our experience fantastic. She is friendly and so much fun!
Beth was amazing to work with! amazing performer! I hired her last minute on the day to surprise my best friend at her job (Costco) for her birthday!
It completely made my best friends day and she was incredible! She even dressed up and got her dancing with her - My friend was laughing and smiling so much :-) cant say enough good things!
highly recommend!!
Response from Beth Richard:
Louise-
Thank you so much! That means so much, especially coming from a performer with an incredible voice! That was a total blast and Dixie was so happy. Good times! Thank you for allowing me to be part of your best friend's special day!
From communication to improvising and overcoming technical difficulties (my fault) to learning a new song within my impossible time window for her to make it happen, Beth was top notch and world class all the way around. Fantastic. Your search ends here, hire Beth. Thank me later
Response from Beth Richard:
WOW! This review warms my heart. I was excited to sing Elsa- Let it Go and Lady Gaga- Always Remember Us This Way along with Happy Birthday. Your wife and kids were so genuine and sweet. Thank you so much! I am so moved by this review.

Beth Richard is available as a solo artist, a duo or with a full band. She is fully equipped with a PA and is a professional. She can read a room and interacts with the audience but can also let the music do the talking. Beth plays both cover songs and original music and is open to requests. Having played music for most of her life, she will leave the audience feeling like they are a part of something.
Beth Richard began her musical journey as a young girl, as she was always singing. She started playing guitar in college and immediately began her songwriting career. She then moved to Austin, Texas and created the band Quatropaw, a song driven pop band. She achieved local notoriety as well as being named Spin Magazine's best unsigned band, winning a Rolling Stone song contest and being signed to British label, Neptune Records. After releasing 5 records, she went on to form the rock band The Addictions and were quickly signed to Electric Factory Records. Here, Beth's songs were used on Regis and Kelly, A & E's Rollergirl and got radio play from Asia to Europe and throughout the United States.
Beth felt the need to get back to her deeper true music and wrote “Same Girl” her debut solo record, a collection of piano based songs. Always a songwriter, the music just kept flowing. With guitarist, Matthew Okmin, bassist, Pawel Hardej, cellist Charles Prewitt, and David G Warren on lap steel, her latest batch of acoustic guitar based songs were born into full band recordings. Forever Man, the new album, recorded with Patrick Herzfeld (drums/keys) at Signal Hill Recording Studio, set to be released on January 8th, 2020, is a collection of vulnerable, heart on you sleeve, singer-songwriter, pop country ballads. This is a glimpse into the record, with the title track, Forever Man. Enjoy!
With a new batch of songs, Beth recorded a pop rock EP released in 2022 as Beth Richard and the Executives and was thrilled to be asked to write a song based on the book Woman on Fire, a New York Times Best Seller which has been licensed by Sharon Stone for an upcoming movie.
