Music Style melodic power pop /rock.

Artist History Beth Thornley is a singer/songwriter who writes an eclectic mix of melody-driven rock. Growing up in Birmingham, Alabama Beth began her music training as all proper southern girls did - immersed in Bach and Mozart. As soon as she realized that the path to the debutant coming out party was fraught with rules regarding when to wear white shoes, how to sit in a chair and the mastery of all Chopin Etudes, she made a hard left turn into the world of rock and has been there ever since. She admits, however, to harboring a love of classical music and begrudgingly concedes all those piano lessons paid off. Beth’s song, “Talkin’ Like An Angel” was selected by Carole Bayer Sager as a top 10 finalist in the Carole Bayer Sager Valentine’s Day Song Contest. “I Will Lie” was chosen as a top 10 finalist in the Shure Musical Roots contest and as a pop song nominee in the Just Plain Folks Music Awards 2002. She was recently chosen to be featured by Tonos.com as their "AOL Musician of the Week". In a review by Music Connection Magazine, Dan Kimpel writes “Loops and samples circle Beth Thornley’s witty, informed lyrics while her endearing voice projects a refreshing clarity and intelligence.” Beth writes and performs her unique brand of rock with the incredible support and talent of her bandmates Rob Cairns (also the producer of her CD), Rob Disner, Sheldon Gomberg and Jamie Wollam. Beth just completed her debut CD and is shopping for a record and/or publishing deal. She is actively pursuing song placement in film and TV. She hopes to build her career on the strength of her songwriting and is working towards collaborating with established songwriters in the industry.

She's performing locally in clubs, and music supervisors might be well-advised to seek her out for songs that are picture-perfect for the big or small screen."
