Beth & Steve's Mondays

Ten Years of Beth's Tuesdays at the Marine Room in Laguna Beach.  Hundreds of shows from the famous, the not so famous, the soon to be famous and the never will be's.  Here are tunes from some of Beth's favorite artists including David Vidal, Ernest Troost, David Fertitta and Steve McClintock, Jay Buchanon, Ric Taylor, CEJ, Jodi Siegel and Alfred Johnson, and Bob Bennett.  There will be more where this came from.

A very...shall we say eclectic mix of music from the Beth and Steve's library including some of Steve's pieces produced for Sony Classical, local legends The Missles of October, some Beth's Tuesdays stars and other miscellaneous songs to test if you are indeed loose and stretchable...Yoga for the mind.

Sometimes in your one's (or two's) artistic life a project comes along that stands out for its easy and natural emergence and its long lasting appeal.  Zero Ted is such an endeavor for Berh and Steve.  We teamed up with long running film composing partner Daniel May to make an album with a stellar group of local and semi-local musicians cutting live tracks for a dozen new songs, many of which we still perform to this day.  Check out a 16 year old Nate Wood on drums and Mike Hamilton on some of the finest guitar playing you can find on planet earth (notice I didn't include the universe).  People say this reminds them of Steely Dan.

One of our all-time favorites from the original Beth's Tuesdays, Bob Bennett joins Beth and Steve for our pre-Christmas show.  Bob plays a variety of recorded and live renditions of some of his Christmas music but don't worry, these are not the songs that initially bring back the nice nostalgic feelings that arise when you hear them in November and eventually rival 2 week old Chrismas dinner leftovers for unwelcomeness.  These are lovely original compositions as well as under the radar gems that Bob has discovered.  He also plays other shall we say secular material that highlights his clever and soulful writing and performing.  Also included are a couple of Beth and Steve's Xmas tunes (our friend Jack Tempchin once wrote a song called "Let's Put The X Back In Christmas) and a crazy bugle medly of Christmas Carols performed by Steve Crum.  So don't let all this talk about the holiday season put you off...this will be entertaining any time of year.

Beth and Steve speak with long time friend Mark Turnbull...Steve and Mark met on the basketball court at Newport Harbor High School in 1964.  Mark is a once in a generation (in a good way) composer, singer, songwriter, playwright, actor, preacher and raconteur.  Don't believe it?  The proof is in the podcast.

So you think music isn't as good as it used to be?  Well it is, there's just too much of it and it can be difficult to sift through it all.  Let Beth and Steve do some of the heavy lifting.  Fun and interesting stories as well.

Featuring original music from Beth and Steve as well as son Nate.  Lots of variety and fun stories.

Beth and Steve have begun finally digging into their vast library of unreleased Honk music.  This episode features 5 unreleased songs (including "Heatwave" and lots of stories from that bygone era.  Greg and Barbara MacGillivray make a visit to the show.  This show was part of the great Fundraiser Week for KXFM, our beloved Laguna radio station.  If you feel extremely flush and want to donate go to https://kxfmradio.org/donate/ and click on "One Time Donation" or go deep with monthly.  But you can enjoy it guilt-free if you so choose.  We find ourselves to be facinating (or at least Steve does).
