Beth Rohde & Friends

I am a clear communicator, and I am very easy to work with. I take care all the details, so you don't have to. Our clients are always so pleased with how everything falls into place, and how we create the perfect ambience they are looking for whether that is purely beautiful background music or something more high energy and interactive.

Beth Rohde has had a wide-ranging career in music as a performer and educator. She began her professional career in Boston singing jazz, pop and Brazilian music as a solo artist, and with the bands Satin Doll and Beijo do Brasil. She moved back to her hometown of Minneapolis in 1993 and worked as a jingle singer for Radio Concepts and headed the vocal department at McNally Smith College of Music. She performed and recorded as Liz Forester during that time.
In 1994, her career went on hold after she was the victim of gun violence in Brazil. She resumed her career in 1996 with a 3-month tour in Japan then temporarily relocated to Atlanta to sing at events surrounding the Olympic games and to record for Cartoon Network.
She moved to Southern California in 1997 to complete her studies at USC with a full scholarship awarded by the Ella Fitzgerald Foundation. Since then, she has performed on 5 different continents as a solo artist and with Les Brown’s Band of Renown.
She currently sings in the LA area with Pretzel Logic, Vento Sul, Roberto Montero, Ron Kobayashi and with her jazz trio and quartet.

We will provide all sound equipment in any medium to small size venues. We will just need adequate space for our ensemble size and a couple of power outlets.
