Beth Kille’s Music

Beth performs throughout the midwest in multiple ensembles. Old-school fans may remember her from the days with her rock band Clear Blue Betty (2002-2008). Now, you can find her as a soloist (just her and her guitar), as duo (with award-winning guitarist Michael Tully) and with the full Beth Kille Band (including Michael Mood on bass and Tony Kille on drums). She is a founding member of the acoustic-pop/Americana trio, Gin, Chocolate & Bottle Rockets (with Shawndell Marks and Jen Farley) who have won numerous awards for their tight three-part harmonies and also offer a special show called “Legends in Harmony: A Tribute The Trio (Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt).” Lastly she has a duo project with her songwriter friend Erik Kjelland (of The Mascot Theory) called Kerosene Kites. Kerosene Kites has released two holiday-themed albums (and two non-holiday records) so they tend to hit the road hard in December, but can also perform when it’s not cold and snowing.

………………………

No matter who she stands beside on stage, Beth is a passionate and engaging performer who enjoys everything from intimate listening rooms, private and corporate events and large festival stages.
