Spotted at an open mic night in London’s Ginglik, Beth Rowley is essential listening for 2008. Mentored by Carleen Anderson and signed to Blue Thumb Records, the 26 year-old singer/songwriter releases her debut LP ‘Little Dreamer’, this week.

Smouldering with a seductive charm, the debut LP ‘Little Dreamer’ is co-written by Beth and Ben Castle [BDi writer] mainly and follows the stunning EP ‘Violets’, which debuted at Number 11 on i-Tunes. Produced by Steve Power (Blur) and Kevin Bacon & Jonathan Quarmby (Richard Hawley, Finlay Quaye) it blends blues and soul with the irrepressible spirit of a New York gospel choir.

Beth is going to release in US in the next few months through Verve and then set her sights on Europe too in the coming months.
