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). She builds beats using items such as suitcases, hat boxes, beaded purses and even her red shoes, transforming her vintage-vibe sound into a one-of-a-kind experience that’s playful, fresh and in the moment. On her YouTube channel, BethPortmanSings Beth produced over 80 song videos as a personal challenge during the pandemic. The creative project helped shape the sound for her most recent album, Great Great Day. Her upbeat and colourful 'Picnic Show' is an all ages concert available for indoor and outdoor events. She's appeared at festivals, city and community events, libraries and private functions. Both album and concert harken back to simpler times, capturing the carefree joy of summer.
