Bev is passion. Powerful singer/songwriter, sultry jazz singer, award winning language teacher, world traveller, and lifelong yogi dedicated to the power of giving, her third CD Woman in Black.
Bev uses her music to create connection and compassion, always in a concerted effort to make the world a better place. In the 80’s she performed Delta blues. In the 90’s she experimented with African rhythms, then later led a retro-rock band. In 2003, she developed her own “acoustic soul” act, a blend of powerful originals and creative interpretations of covers. Since 2006, in addition to her solo performances, she has been regularly performing as jazz vocalist in her prairie hometown of Regina. Bev began to take herself seriously as a writer when songwriting became for her a means of dealing with life’s challenges: first, the slow loss of her mother to Alzheimer’s disease, followed by the tragic death of her 18 year old daughter, Tess, in 2002. She has channeled her talents into creating songs that help others find their lost smiles, as she has been able to do. Her CD, WOMAN IN BLACK, is dedicated to the memory of her daughter, Tesalyn.
Although a distinct Joni Mitchell influence is apparent, Tracy Chapman also resonates in her vocal dynamics, and she can deliver a wicked Etta James cover, Bev has evolved her own distinct blend of acoustic jazz, soul, and blues. Her stories are real; her vocally compelling delivery is intense, innovative, and passionate; and her lyrics, like a good story, stay with you long after the music is over.
