-Songs by Liz Petty, Performed by Beth Kille
Liz Petty donated to Kille’s 2012 Dust album Kickstarter campaign and earned a songwriting lesson with Beth. This opened a floodgate of tunes pouring out of Petty. She uploaded lyrics to the February Album Writing Month website in 2013 and found collaborators all over the world who matched her lyrics with music. Petty enlisted Kille’s help to sing these tunes on this record.

“Embrace your Authentic Songwriter” transported me back to Beth’s studio, where she offers an inspiring combination of genuine care, music theory expertise, and insider knowledge of the songwriting process. Through her accessible and often laugh-out-loud funny prose, Beth honors the readers’ strengths, helps us clarify our purpose and offers just the right suggestion that we didn’t know we needed. As an experienced songwriter, Beth has helped me carve out a unique creative path for myself, and I’m thrilled that this book will allow her to inspire an even wider audience of songwriters!”
