In 1970 Jackson Browne told Beth that he had gotten a gig at a club in Huntington Beach, California and that she should try out at one of their Monday night open mic/audition nights. She showed up the following Monday and as fate would have it Steve was there auditioning with his band Honk. Like a script, girl gets gig and finds her life partner all in one night. Beth soon joined Honk and with The Beach Boys they made the soundtrack for the cult classic surf movie “Five Summer Stories”. The script continues when one of their songs from the film gets to #1 on some radio stations, they get a record deal and go on the road with Loggins and Messina, Chicago and The Beach Boys and headlined some shows with bands like Van Halen and Aerosmith as their opening acts.
What looked like a straight road to happily ever after, suddenly curved unexpectedly when the band broke up. Beth and Steve decided to change directions and started a family. Steve went on the road with Kenny Loggins for 10 years as musical director, wrote music and recorded songs with him (including Footloose). Beth continued gigging at home, singing backup for Jackson Browne and others and released several albums including two popular Children’s projects.
Steve became the most awarded IMAX documentary film composer, working with George Harrison, Sting (2 Oscar nominations), Crosby, Stills and Nash, Queen, Paul McCartney, Dave Matthews Band and many others. Beth assisted on many of the projects and towed the boat off the rocks when Steve ran aground.
Beth and Steve live in Laguna Beach, California where they also own a Martial Arts School with one of their sons. Steve’s recently released album, “Junk Drawer” was #1 on Roots Music Report’s Folk Rock Album Chart. They are still writing, recording and performing and will be backing up Mike MacDonald in concert this coming November.
