"Patterson displays true fierceness in her singing and continues her mastery of dozens of instruments, most notably the Irish bouzouki." -Dirty Linen Magazine Known for her razor wit and musical versatility, her performances are chock-full of drive, savage energy, and passion, laced with humor and rapport with her listeners, dishing out an eclectic repertoire of original and traditional songs. Whether solo or with her trio Kalafka, she integrates her progressive sound with Irish music and other ethnic styles, resulting in her own sound she deems SWAP (Songwriter/World/Acoustic/Progressive).
Described by viewers as a cross between a cobra and a puppy, multi-instrumentalist Beth Patterson is foremost a player of the eight- and ten-stringed Irish bouzoukis (adaptations of a traditional Greek instrument).
Beth has appeared on over seventy recordings, including her three solo albums, Hybrid Vigor, Take Some Fire, and Caught in the Act, and the soundtracks to The One - Eyed King (featuring William Baldwin and Armand Assante) and the independent motion picture Lucindas Spell. A prolific songwriter, over two dozen of her compositions have appeared on recordings by various artists.
