Beth Bombara’s music isn’t retro, it’s timeless, earnest and organic. Her songs draw from folk, rock, blues and country, earning comparisons to Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Gillian Welch. Bombara will performs songs from her acclaimed album "It All Goes Up," notable for their emotional honesty and quiet power. Adults and teens.

The music of Beth Bombara is not retro, it's timeless. The earnestness and organic depth feel natural and easy, almost as though they come to us from another era. The Columbia Tribune noted, “Her songs live in the same world as greats like Petty and Dylan; Gillian and Joni, and grow up like trees drawing nourishment from their roots; roots that sit at the four corners of Americana: folk, rock, blues and country. 

Bombara spent years on the road in other bands before encouragement from peers led her to start writing and performing her own music. “I never set out to be a lead singer,” she admits. I struggled with anxiety and talking into a microphone just froze me up.” With her most recent album "It All Goes Up," she continues to impress, taking on the role of frontwoman, songwriter and producer. Beth is based in St. Louis, MO. Listen to her music or find out more at www.bethbombara.com.

This concert is for adults and teens.
