Beth Custer
In The Broken Fields Where I Lie
Dona Luz 30 Besos

Besides being a talented clarinetist (she can be heard on my CD "The Whole World") and amazing vocalist, Beth Custer is also a composer, performer, and teacher who writes for television, film, theater, and dance. She's been making the scene in San Francisco for over 18 years, a key member of numerous ensembles such as the notorius Club Foot Orchestra the ethnoambient Trance Mission, and trip hop duo Eighty Mile Beach.
In recent years, Beth Custer has taken her unconventional, intelligent music to new heights with two CDs: Dona Luz 30 Besos and In the Broken Fields Where I Lie.

Here's what SF Examiner music critic Phillip Elwood, said "BETH CUSTER is among the brightest, most talented and creative musicians on the Bay Area's music scene. Her accomplishments during her 20-year San Francisco residency as a multi-instrumentalist, composer and conductor - documented on her 10 CDs - have, for years, impressed the world's new-music community, making her name synonymous with the best and most adventurous of the Bay Area's cutting-edge musical sounds.
