KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

Beth Orton is a folksy singer songwriter and electronica siren all in one. She has collaborated with Terry Callier, Mazzy Star-s David Roback, The Chemical Brothers, Ben Harper, and Ben Watt from Everything But The Girl. She has a knack for choosing interesting artists to work with and always manages to create engaging music regardless of whom her collaborator may be. While Beth has had many outside collaborators Beth's own band has remained consistent over the years. Her band is: Ted Barnes (guitar), Sean Read (keyboards), Ali Friend (bass) and Will Blanchard (drums).
