Performer: Beth and Steve Wood
Beth Fitchet Wood is a singer, guitarist, composer and producer. Her main influences are in the folk, pop, musical theatre, jazz and rock ‘n roll genres. She was in the Southern California band “Honk” in the early seventies, who released three albums and toured nationally with Loggins and Messina, Chicago and the Beach Boys. After Honk, Beth played in just about every conceivable musical format, in most kinds of venues. She also toured the world as a background vocalist and assistant producer.
Steve Wood is a founding member of the legendary Southern California band Honk, famous for the music in the cult classic film “Five Summer Stories.” He went on to become Kenny Loggins’ musical director for 10 years where he co-wrote several songs with Kenny and helped arrange and record “Footloose.” His multifaceted career went on to include a Clio award winning stint with Stevie Wonder. He also produced and composed for the Sony Classical label, which included his production of a PBS special filmed at the Colosseum in Rome and another PBS special with the Boston Pops. He is probably best known for his work for Greg MacGillivray in the IMAX documentary field where he scored 30 films and received 7 best soundtrack awards, the most by any composer. Steve’s love of music as an expression of something shared by all people of the world and his ability to recognize gifted musicians, regardless of style or technical prowess continues to lead him into exciting new and uncharted musical territories.
