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.

In the 1980's, Beth recorded and co-produced two children's albums with her co-Honk members Will Brady and Steve Wood, her husband. These were recently re-released on her CD entitled "Autumn To May". She also recorded an album with her girls group "The Girls" in 1988 entitled "That's What Dreams are For".

During the 1990's, she recorded an album with her guys group "Zero Ted" entitled "Sacred Cow", and her album "Silos", featuring 8 original songs, has the same cast of characters. She most recently recorded a CD of pop tunes and Honk favorites entitled "Angel On My Shoulder", with unique instrumentation. The basic tracks for that CD were recorded in Slovenia, with a string/accordion band! Beth will take just about any excuse to sing, and has been given many wonderful opportunities to do that, singing background on hundreds of albums, IMAX soundtracks and commercials.

Since the turn of the millenium, Beth has accompanied her husband Steve on his worldwide production adventures for Sony Classical, striving to make herself useful at concerts he produced at the Colosseum in Rome, and Central Park in New York (with their son Nate!), and has been fortunate to assist at recording sessions with some of the best new tenors of our time. In 2005, she was production assistant for Steve's Greek IMAX soundtrack, "Greece - Secrets Of The Past", which featured 5 of the biggest Greek recording stars. She also co-wrote the title track for the new IMAX film “Hurricane On The Bayou”.

Then she comes home to her empty nest in Laguna Beach, teaches music to her beloved students, runs her Tuesday Night Songwriter's Showcase, plays live with her group "The Girls" and occasionally does concerts with her old pals in Honk.
