On Monday, August 21st @ 10AM San Francisco-based clarinetist, singer, composer, and songwriter, Beth Custer, stops by the KALX studios to hang out with Sex 14’s. Tune in to hear all about Custer’s latest album, SKY, with guitarist Will Bernard.
Beth Custer is an Emmy Award winning, San Francisco based composer, performer, recording artist, bandleader, and the proprietor of BC Records. She has numerous recordings with ensembles The Beth Custer Ensemble, Eighty Mile Beach, Clarinet Thing, Trance Mission and Club Foot Orchestra. She performs Bb, alto, bass, contrabass clarinets, flute, tenor sax, voice, piano, percussion, and toys.
SKY features diverse compositional styles and instrumental mastery. Sixteen tracks take the listener on a 52-minute sweet, luscious excursion; one that pulls the listener in, leaving them wanting to take the SKY trip again and again.
