More About PATIO SHOW: Beth Lee, Kevin Smith & Miriam Allen
– LIMITED PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE
BETH LEE, KEVIN SMITH & MIRIAM ALLEN
Beth Lee is a bluegrass and Americana artist rooted in the traditions of the genre and driven by a deep passion for lyrical storytelling. Inspired by her roots in the Hill Country of Austin, Texas and her home in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, her sense of place is woven into every lyric. Songs that invite the listener on a journey — to be taken away by a story, or simply reminded of the human highway we’re all sharing.
In a city where the song writers are committed to authenticity, Kevin Smith is a beacon and mentor for exactly that. His voice is of a man who emerged from the mountains hell bent on crafting songs that are true to his life and relevant to ours. At AVLfest in 2024, a song writer from Nashville told Fiddle Man that he drove six hours to see Planefolk just to get back to the emotional roots of songwriting that can get lost in production houses of Nashville. We all need to get back to the core of our humanity, Kevin helps us get there.
Multi-instrumentalist Miriam Allen has spent hundreds of days & nights alone in remote Appalachian coves swimming & writing songs in her anchored sailboat. Curious about other cultures & nature, she is a lifelong outdoor adventurer, backpacker, naturalist, & activist for humanitarian & conservation efforts. Her songs are emotionally charged & give a voice to those who often don’t have one: wild spaces, wounded souls & playful humans alike. From rowdy & gritty to soothing & heartfelt; Miriam’s songs are pure passion.
