QUOTES

"Tori Amos ain't got nothing on [Beth Quist]"
Michael Hedges
"Beth Quist is one of the most talented artists to ever come out of Colorado. Her ability as a multi-instrumentalist combined with her passion and emotion is truly inspirational."
Dave Beegle, guitarist, Fourth Estate
"Quist's voice, which tumbles from a piercing Arabic wail to a low lament, could likely carry her career alone."
