Gympie Music Muster 2016

MOOROOKA’S Jill Beth is one to watch in the Australian music scene.
         

The talented 31-year-old starlet is set to play at the Gympie Music Muster this week before heading off to Nashville, Tennessee, to work on her music. Beth said the muster was a great event to be part of.

“It doesn’t matter that you’re not the big superstar, they treat all the artists really respectfully, and the audience is so into it and just happy to soak it up,” she said.

Beth said music had always been part of her life and she came from a family where singing and dancing at all hours was “a pretty normal thing”.

And despite the muster, she said her style was not “straight up country”. “I have influences of Americana and alternative country but I also love a really great pop song, so you’ll definitely hear elements of all of that in my music,” she said.

Inspired by artists she grew up listening to such as James Taylor, Jackson Brown and The Eagles, and modern-day artists including John Mayer and Casey Musgrave, Beth said she would love for music to be a fulltime career.
