Influences
I like a lot of music. I pretty much like all rock and roll, some of the folk singer songwriter stuff, some oldies, and classical music. Majored in classical guitar in college. I still love the Beatles, Zeppelin, Heart, Queen, Billy Joel, Yes, Journey, Van Halen, Cat Stevens, Styx, Joni Mitchell, Beethoven, Dvorak, Tori Amos, Tracy Chapman, guess I could go on and on here ...
Sounds Like
Myself, I hope? Although I'm always flattered by comparisons, and people over the years have compared me most often to Alanis, Phoebe Snow, Janis, Anne Murray, Rickie Lee Jones, Carly Simon, and Joni Mitchell ... as if any of those people sound anything alike! I can't hear any Janis in my voice at all. People do say it but I really just think they see a girl with long hair singing and think of her. People have told me I sound like Joan Baez too, come to think of it. That's definitely the girl with the guitar thing, I sound nothing like Baez. I can understand the Anne Murray/Carly Simon comparison, just because I have a smooth alto voice a lot of times ... but I definitely try to belt it out and rock a little whenever I can manage it!
My name is Elizabeth Roth and I am a solo artist (guitarist/vocalist) based in Saint Augustine, Florida. I am also a member of The Grapes of Roth, a four piece classic rock band, also of Saint Augustine.

(This band has alternately been referred to as "the Elizabeth Roth Band" and also as "Elizabeth and The Grapes of Roth". This is just to confuse you people! Just kidding, but we do now have a myspace page! Check it out!
