I’ve been a warrior, and that’s all I’ve ever known.
lyrics from Beth Dean’s song
“I Don’t Need You to Save Me”
Like so many other creative people, Beth Dean has stood her ground, stood up for herself, and moved forward against the odds, all the while holding onto her greatest wish: to create and perform music for those who want to listen.
She’s moved through the ordinary rites of passage provided by romance, marriage, jobs, and business, but also the extraordinary challenges that come to any strong woman or gentle man who steps into a leadership role.
She’s often had to push against the tide of circumstances, holding tight to her dream of writing, playing and singing music. She’s faced down self-doubt, disappointment, heartache, frustration, and delayed gratification. She’s come out on the other side bruised, but not broken, determined, but open-hearted.
Got my boots on the pegs and I’m rolling down tight, and you will not see me tonight.
lyrics from Beth Dean’s song
“I Don’t Need You to Save Me”
Beth is like many other extraordinary women in the world who’ve received the message again and again – to succeed, to lead, to get by – they’ll have to “soften their tone.”
Don’t be yourself Beth; you’re just too much.
Many of my fans are women. Some of them can connect with my songs because of their life experiences and what they’ve been through. Some women who have been through what I have tell me they love having an outlet to sing along with me at the top of their lungs!

Many of my songs are love songs. I think there’s a romantic wish inside of most women – and also inside of the kind of men who genuinely love and respect us! My songs are for everyone who wants love, has been disappointed, but tries again anyway.
~ Beth Dean
Like many creative people, she has often lived a double or triple life, squeezing her music in between the cracks, teaching piano and managing a busy arts education studio by day, rarely finding time to write songs or work on repertoire until late at night.
Fortunately, with music and her fans as her mainstay, Beth has always had a consistent driving force pulling her forward so that such distractions didn’t really derail her, although they have sometimes slowed her down!
Even on the days she’s thought of quitting, her desire to share her story with others — to be an inspiration to people going through their own difficulties – has caused Beth to keep at it – working to create a space in the music scene where a woman in her fifties might still find her niche and shine.
Versatility galore!!!
Just two words I would use to describe Beth Dean’s music. She really can sing just about anything she lends her voice to. She delivers total believability with the vocal control of many of her predecessors. Beth possesses an uncanny ability to cover a wide musical spectrum, ranging from the sultry yet grittier R&B sounds of Bonnie Raitt, to the vocal power and angst of rocker Pat Benatar…and then she can take you to the opposite end of the spectrum with the more tender stylings with the likes of Natalie Cole! Beth Dean owns who she is…a singer songwriter and is a true artist.
