Biography
Beth W. Patterson
Beth W. Patterson was a full-time musician for over two decades before sidestepping into the world of writing (a process she describes as “fleeing the circus to join the zoo”). Her most recent book is her lyric anthology MONGRELS AND MISFITS. She is a contributing writer of 11 books. Patterson has played in 15 countries across the Americas, Europe, Australia and Asia. She appears on over 120 albums (including seven solo albums of her own) in addition to a smattering of soundtracks, videos, commercials and voice-overs. Various artists have recorded over a hundred of her compositions and co-writes. She studied ethnomusicology at University College, Cork in Ireland and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Music Therapy from Loyola University New Orleans.
Beth has occasionally worn other hats as a body paint model, film extra, minor role actor, recording studio partner, record label owner, producer and visual artist. She is a lover of exquisitely stupid movies and a shameless fangirl of the band Rush. You can find her at www.bethpattersonmusic.com.
