Beth Jeans Houghton has been playing guitar since the age of 16. She’s only 19 now. In the meantime, she’s supported Tunng and Tinariwen, hobnobbed with Vetiver, John Martyn, Bon Iver and Joanna Newsome, and recorded a single, Golden/Nightswimmer with Adem.
An album is, of course, on the way, and is being produced by Ben Hillier, the production mastermind behind Elbow’s Cast Of Thousands, Doves’s Some Cities and Blur’s Think Tank. “Originally, I wasn’t sure how Ben and my music would fit together, but it does and
I can’t wait to get back to his cave,” says Beth. “He looks like Mr. Bean, rides a bike, and helps me pass on love notes to cute guys in café’s.”
“A considerable talent, with a remarkable voice and a rare star quality.” Mojo
