A songwriter from the time she could climb onto a piano bench, Beth McDonald was nearly 30 years old before she was willing to try to sing by herself in front of anyone – baptized by fire, so to speak, by becoming the lead singer for the nationally acclaimed DC area New Legacy Jazz Band, where she worked with her accompanist Joe Holt, who has enjoyed a 40-year career as a soloist and touring artist. Together, they perform at historic theaters, cabarets, churches, and festivals, covering music from various genres, such as gospel, blues, pop standards, and some contemporary material as well as Beth’s compositions, which fall into several of those categories. In addition to their live performances, they have worked together to release multiple recordings and are planning a return trip to the studio in 2016. Joe resides in the Chestertown area and makes his living as a full-time musician. Beth lives in Pennsylvania and works as a Human Resources Manager for a pediatric center that specializes in therapies for kids with special needs.
