   About Beth Nielsen Chapman






New Limited Edition EP Available Now!

Beth Nielsen Chapman, Nashville singer-songwriter, breast cancer survivor, environmental activist, has penned numerous hits and written songs for Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Bette Midler, Elton John, Neil Diamond, Trisha Yearwood, Maritna McBride, Michael McDonald, Faith Hill, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and also releases her own CD's and has had much success as an artist in the UK and Ireland. Her groundbreaking “Sand & Water”, was written and recorded following the death of her husband from cancer in 1994, performed by Elton John on his 1997 U.S. tour in place of "Candle In The Wind” to honor the memory of Princess Diana. . The UK release of “Deeper Still”, following her successful treatment for breast cancer, was voted "Album Of The Year" by BBC2's Terry Wogan. Beth also released: “Hymns”, a collection of ancient Latin hymns, a DVD “If Love Could Say God’s Name” recorded at St. Paul's Cathedral in London with the London Oriana Choir, and most recently “Prism”, a double CD collection of sacred songs sung in nine languages. Beth’s music has shown up on ER, Dawson's Creek, Providence, Felicity and in movie soundtracks, including “The Prince of Egypt, “Message In A Bottle”, “The Rookie”, “Where The Heart Is” and “Practical Magic”. Mega-hit "This Kiss”, ASCAP'S 1999 Song Of The Year, sung by Faith Hill garnered her a Grammy nomination. That same year Beth was chosen as Nashville NAMMY'S Songwriter of the Year and was inducted into The Alabama Music Hall Of Fame. Beth teaches her annual Creativity Stargaze Workshop at the Vanderbilt Observatory as well as various other songwriting workshops internationally. Beth also serves on the Advisory Board for Peacejam and serves on the Board of Directors of Healthy Child Healthy World, and the Board of Directors for the Nashville Songwriters Association International.

Hi Beth, Been going through a couple of months from hell, but I keep listening to your wonderful songs - especially 'Sand & Water' and 'Prism' and hearing you once say "Shit happens!" Again you've helped me keep my head above water, or maybe 'the slippery black hole' would be more appropriate in this case. Can't wait for 16/11 in Belfast, then Barnsley and Inverness.
Love, Helen

Hi Beth, so glad to be added to your page. I saw you open for Dan Fogelberg in maybe 1993 at the Palumbo Center in Pittsburgh PA. You were great, went out the next day bought all the cd's i could find. I gave them as gifts to my friends. I have loved your work ever since. Another thing to thank DAN for. Take care.

Hi Beth! We saw you at the Sellersville Theater a few weeks ago! You were incredible! Thank you for taking the time to meet us, to talk with us and to sign autographs. As I said to you there, we first saw you in 1994 at Valley Forge Music Fair (where you opened for Dan Fogelberg).
Your voice has not changed one bit! You are still GREAT! Can't wait to see you again!

Hi Beth,

I met you at a songwriting weekend in Coleraine last year. You were incredible! You inspired me to write many songs since...I have listened to your PRISM cds and enjoy all the songs - very diverse! Thank you for adding me!

Hi Beth,

You continue to inspire. I love "My Religion", "Prayers of an Atheist", "Shalom Aleichem" and just about everything else on Prism. Thanks for your amazing music and support.

Michael
