About
"She is talented, a gifted showman, and knows how to get the audience excited. Her amazing ability to entertain all age groups makes her a very special performer." Central Lions Seniors Association
With her uplifting mix of early jazz, swing, roots, and 50s pop, Beth Portman brightens the greyest of skies. A dynamic vocalist, ukulele player and songwriter, Beth expands her solo performances by incorporating layers of harmonies and percussion recorded live on her looper station (neatly stored in a suitcase or picnic basket). Her vintage-vibe sound is a one-of-a-kind experience that’s playful, fresh and in the moment.
Beth Portman's upbeat and colourful 'Picnic Shows' are a collection of all-ages and family concerts suitable for indoor and outdoor events. With her picnic blanket as her stage she can transform any space into a celebration of sunshine and community. She's appeared at festivals, city and community events, farmer's markets, libraries, airports and private functions. Her songs, visual style and performance harken back to simpler times, capturing the carefree joy of the warmer months.
Beth is the creator for two YouTube channels, 'BethPortmanSings' and 'Beth's Picnic for Kids' and has 3 solo albums. Her most recent 'Great Great Day' was released in 2023. Currently she's working on a Children's album.
