BETH WILLIS
7 p.m. | Free | 21 and Over
"From her first gig several years ago on a city sidewalk in downtown Portland to more recent appearances at The House of Blues and at The Palms Casino in Las Vegas, at The Aladdin Theater and at Kennedy School in Portland, Beth Willis keeps showing that she truly is for all of you. Here are the musical ingredients: combine a wonderfully rich, expressive voice with tremendously affecting lyrics that'll make you laugh and cry and think and feel within a wide-ranging musical framework that runs the gamut from folk to rock to blues to country… and beyond. Willis will make you laugh knowingly with the rollicking "Drinking With The Boys" as she works "masturbation" and "cogitation" into the lyrics framework. She will touch your heart with the wry, sad "Nothing" ("..We were soulmates Then you must have lost your soul...") and with the poignant pain of "Distance" ("I know that I'm restless... And I think that I'm free... But I'm so numb and broken..And I'm so tired of me.") And she takes stark self-deprecation to new and often humorous levels with "Masquerading Again" ("I keep reinventing life as I know it... Keep ripping apart with no chance to sew it..."). All of these songs are featured on Willis's newest release, entitled "did i mention... i never lie?" With guest artists including Dirty Martini's Stephanie Schneiderman, Beth Willis has put together a solid collection of songs that will leave you wanting more. Whatever mood you reach… Beth Willis reaches out to it and to you. Brilliant.Deep. Hysterical. Cerebral. Seriously, seriously talented. Beth Willis is, indeed, for all of you--- head, heart, gut and funny bone. This is Portland's musical treasure. Let her get to you now… and often. Listen up." - Clear Channel
