About Me

Songs can be downloaded from my IAC page at Beth Fridinger at IAC . Check out my band photography at Beth Fridinger and check out event photography at Beth Fridinger Photography .
Beth Fridinger is a singer songwriter who writes truthful songs from the heart that encompass a mix of blues, classic rock, folk sound with some other genres. Her rich alto voice is a unique blend of soulful and mellow. She grew up in the Boston Mass. area and took piano lessons as a child and later on she played some guitar but put it down. In early 2006 she began to play again after attending a jam party in Allston. In 2007 Beth started to sing and began to write her own songs after being inspired by a dear friend. She has been writing and recording music on her computer and recording with some talented friends. Beth is grateful to friends who helped and encouraged her in these endeavors. She performs at some of the open mics around town. As a talented visual artist she always loved music but didn’t pursue it until recently. She thinks music is an incredibly fun art and there is nothing like it!
