‘Versatility galore!!! …are just two words I would use to describe Beth Dean’s music. She really can sing just about anything she lends her voice to. She delivers total believability with the vocal control of many of her predecessors. Beth possesses an uncanny ability to cover a wide musical spectrum, ranging from the sultry yet grittier R&B sounds of Bonnie Raitt, to the vocal power and angst of rocker Pat Benatar…and then she can take you to the opposite end of the spectrum with the more tender stylings with the likes of Natalie Cole! Beth Dean owns who she is…a singer songwriter and is a true artist.’
--Tim Chewning -Solo artist, musician, producer, Nashville TN
“Beth Dean is the real deal. She is blessed with a strong and unique voice and also happens to be a superb pianist – a devastating combination! I wish there were more like her in our world.”
--JP Pennington of Exile.
