Beth Amsel toured with Voices on the Verge and has been doing her own
solo singer songwriter performances for several years. Her soaring
voice is beautiful, her words are a musicial ride through love, loss,
want, desire, grief, and change. She's worked with the likes of Erin
McKeown and The Nields. (October 1)

Every time Beth Amsel visits CU she tours with a different fantastic
artists. This time around she's bringing Maggie Simpson. "Simpson's
music covers a broad range from ethereal, lyrical ballads to hard
edged, funk inflected grooves. Her song writing reveals a complex,
sophisticated rhythmic and harmonic sense but springs from a raw
innocence that keeps if tuneful and accessible. Maggie's stories are
simple but profound; disarmingly unselfconscious. She underscores her
performances with a spacious, 'meaty' and percussive guitar style
which, though compelling, remains unobtrusive and like everything else
she does, is an equal and integral part of the whole." (October 1)

Kate Hathaway started playing guitar at the age of 14, and soon after,
began writing her own songs and lyrics. She grew up in the small town
of Rossville, IL, and recently moved to Urbana last year to begin
school at the University of Illinois. Immediately after her move to
Champaign-Urbana, she began playing her own originals at venues all
over town including. Some of her first shows were at the IMC. Hathaway
formed a backing band in the fall of 2002. Kate's sound is acoustic
guitar driven bluesy folk and rock. Her new three song EP is available
for $3 at the IMC. (October 1)

Kevin Elliott is the host of From the Joshua Tree Inn on WEFT 90.1 FM
Tuesdays 6-8pm. Many know Kevin as an expert on folk music, now you
have the chance to hear his great skills as a singer-songwriter as
well. (October 1)
