"Combining
the permeating musical influence of her childhood with her fierce
passion and finely tuned ears, Beth Dariti writes with nostalgic
observance, composes into spaces unknown and plays instinctively.
The story winds back to an engrained musical backdrop long ago
when she was learning to cry and crawl to her family’s jazz playing
and the records of jazz moguls, Chet Baker and Miles Davis. Not
long passed before little fingers persisted patiently in piano
lessons, though soon recognising her instrument of choice, the
first guitar came at the age of 10. There started a fated musical
collaboration. You may recognise her face from frequent acoustic
appearances with her musical ally Adrian Roye, with whom she creates
much musical happiness. She’s now embarking on a series of her
own gigs.
Keen
to evolve, Beth has added a few instruments to her musical bow
and you may catch her not only rocking-out with her strum-punch-caress
guitar-style but perhaps with a mandolin, touberleki or bass tucked
under one of her arms and a harmonica in her mouth. Most likely
though her vocals will be on display as they softly drop the carefully
truthful lyrics in powerful blows or warmed wavering whispers.
Someone who definitely knows how to make a guitar move; competently,
she combines a pulse-style beat of percussion plucking with a
free-flowing and soft spontaneity."
