STEVIE NICKS (FLEETWOOD MAC), SHERYL CROW, THE BEATLES, DIXIE CHICKS, HEART, NEIL YOUNG, JONI MITCHELL, CAT STEVENS, CAROLYN DAWN JOHNSON, TOM PETTY, HALL AND OATES, SHANIA TWAIN - GREAT MELODIC WRITERS..I AM A MELODY GIRL
Calgary Singer/Songwriter, Sarah Beth Keeley has constantly evolved as an artist fully immersed in her love of music, and one with the ability to increasingly bring her songwriting to fruition. As well, she performs with a voice that increasingly puts her in a special place among emerging artists in the country, country rock and roots genres. That voice embraces all the sweetness it needs when sweetness is the essence of the song, yet in that same voice there can also be a boldness, conviction, humour, pathos and more. Reinventing Myself, her newest album, and the meaning behind it, is really the total consolidation of this evolution.
The title track of the vibrant new record is an irresistable country-rock tune that triumphantly declares that "I made it through the tunnel and came out the other side" In Sarah Beth's own word, that title, and indeed the song itself, reflects her growth as an artist and a person. "it is about my life and my music career. It's about getting to a point where you're comfortable in the skin you're in," she has commented on more than one occasion.
Such positive messages infuse many of the emotionally eloquent songs on the compelling record. It's a work that showcases the reinvented Keeley as an artist with a unique perspective and musical style. The result is an album on which her rich songwriting and breathtaking vocal skills are properly framed in instrumental and production work of the hiest grade. The refreshing stylistic diversity to its ten songs make for a standout unique style. SBK calls Reinventing Myself " a country album with a rootsy rock edge," described as Canadian Country Music's answer to Sheryl Crow.
Sarah comes from a musical family and is no musical novice having spent the last decade working on her craft as a vocalist, a songwriter and a performer. Sarah sends a signal about her satisfaction in knowing she has 'done her time' in preparing for a new leap forward in her musical story. Could that be a cue? Her first album was called just that, TIME, a record featuring all-original compositions which also garnered SBK the Music Box Award for Top New Female Artist in 2005. That album hinted at the creative potential that now fully blooms on Reinventing Myself, a giant artistic leap forward. SBK's soulful voice and emotionally charged strumming captured the attention of acclaimed Producer/Mixing Engineer Brian Malouf.(Madonna, Celine Dion, Elton John). The A- List of featured instrumentals on the album included Cary Park (Boy Howdy), Cory Churko (Shania Twain's fiddle player), and pedal steel legend Jay Dee Maness.
There's definite crossover potential with such songs as 'Reinventing myself' and the slowly building and full-blooded "When was the last time."While the new single 'with your Goodbye," is already drawing a deep emotional response from those hearing it. SBK co-wrote most of the songs on the album. On the performance side, Sarah was a special guest performer on Sean Hogan's 2008 Western Christmas tour, doing double duty with an opening set prior to joining Sean for his show also featuring Steve Fox and other top Canadian artists.
Believers in SBK's talent are Canadian-based custom guitar manufacturers Dot on Shaft. An SBK Black acoustic Signature Series is to be released in Spring of '09. "I am truly a proud endorsee and grateful for their belief in me as a Canadian musician," says SBK.
"We were so impressed with her music, her sweet voice, and her amazing personality," says Dot on Shaft owner Mike Carparelli. "We are so proud to be endorsing SBK."
Sarah Beth is the proud owner of the first SBK signature series guitar, now also available for fans to purchase.
Word about Sarah Beth Keeley's talent is quickly spreading, and Reinventing Myself is scoring rave reviews across Canada and beyond. Top British roots magazine MAVERICK, for instance, termed it 'a fine modern pop-country album from an excellent Canadian singer-songwriter and gave it a 4 out of 5 star review." Don't just take their word for it, check it out for yourself. At a time in which so much music is formula-driven, an Emerging artist with such an original vision deserves to be embraced.

Committed to make it work Do you hesitate to take action because you're not sure if you'll be effective? Remember that achievement is built on efforts that work as well as efforts that don't work.
Some of your individual efforts may not bring the desired results. Yet when you are committed to keep doing whatever is necessary, you are sure to find a way.
The important thing is to focus on the goal, and put your energy into doing your best to reach that goal. Accept that you may not get the result you desire, then step forward anyway, and do everything within your power to achieve that result.
At the very least, you'll gain valuable experience. And with enough experience, you'll eventually be able to get it right.
It's true that there are no guarantees. After all, if it were a sure thing, someone else, far less capable than you, would have already claimed the prize.
Go ahead and make the effort. It will work when you're committed to make it work.
I want to thank you for your kindness in adding me between your friendships. Fantastic voice and tender picking I heard from you!! All the best...............................
