| Beth Lucas returned to the industry in late 2021 with a new alt-country sound and has been busy carving her path within the country space, with no signs of slowing down. She recently joined viral US country artist, Alexandra Kay, on her maiden Australian headline tour, opening both Sydney and Melbourne shows.
February 2024 will see Beth release her third country offering, ‘Rearview Mirror’, an anthemic story of self-reflection and perseverance. Recorded and produced by James North (Karise Eden, Tom Oliver, Andy Penkow) and collaborating with US drummer, Travis McNabb (Sugarland, Megan Moroney, Little Big Town), ‘Rearview Mirror’ features Lucas’ signature acoustic guitar layered with emotive harmonies and a sound that is both unique whilst also placing her in the same arena as rising country stars such as Ella Langley, Laura Frank and Bailey Zimmerman.
In August 2023, Beth took first place in The Ekka’s Country Music Showdown, where she was a Top 10 finalist for the second year in a row, impressing industry judges with her stage presence, song craft and vulnerability.
Beth graduated from the CMAA The Academy of Country Music Australia’s senior course as the recipient of the coveted Keith Urban Scholarship, which took place ahead of Tamworth Country Music Festival 2023. Beth had multiple appearances throughout the festival, including a guest invitation with Kevin Bennett & The Flood and being named in the Top 5 for the inaugural Radio 2TM “Discovered” talent competition.
2023 saw Beth open for Adam Brand, Taylor Moss and Matt Cornell at the first ever “Country on Kings” event, as well as releasing 2 alt-country singles, ‘Life of the Party (Song for Erin)’ and ‘Home Town’. Both tracks were recorded and produced by the acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and engineer, Michael Moko (Melody Moko, Hayley Marsten, Catherine Britt).
Beth closed out the year with multiple appearances at the 10th anniversary of Groundwater Country Music Festival, joining a stellar lineup of Country Music heavyweights Lee Kernaghan, Jackson Dean (USA), The Wolfe Brothers, Casey Barnes, The Pleasures and more. |
