Beth Waters is a singer/songwriter/pianist from San Francisco, California. Waters is known for her soothing voice, emotional performances and her ability to write a contagious hook. Her music has earned her comparisons to Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan and Norah Jones. In response to her debut EP "Don't Look Back", MTV Online was quoted as saying, "Come see her before other artists start being compared to her".

Waters released her first full-length album, “Over The Tide� on Mermaid Mafia Records in the spring of 2000. Songs from the album became a phenomenon on MP3.com being downloaded over 250,000 times by listeners from all over the world. Two of the tracks reached the top ten on Garageband.com and were featured on their latest compilation, "Best Of Independent Folk/Pop 2002."

In September 2003, Waters released her second full-length album on Mermaid Mafia Records. The album is collection of 12 songs delicately produced by Michael Winger (Tim Bluhm of The Mother Hips) blending piano, voice, acoustic and electronic elements into a warm spacious sound. Waters appropriately self-titles this album because of the lyrical content. “These are very personal pieces,� says Ben Ohmart in a Music Dish open review, “The songs are about strength, belief, more strength, and purpose. If you have no purpose in life, you might as well write a dozen love songs instead of the tidal wave that falls into the Beth Waters album�.

The album features drumming by Ben Mize from The Counting Crows, is mixed by Joel Jaffe at the legendary "Studio D" (Sausalito, CA) and was mastered at “The Plant Mastering Studio� (Sausalito, CA) by John Cuniberti.

Waters' new release is already attracting the attention of major labels and press. In early 2004, Waters’ song “Sweaters� will be featured on and episode of Lifetime Television’s “1-800-Missing� and her song “Blue and White� will be featured on an episode of the WB network’s “One Tree Hill.� Waters is currently featured in the November 2003 issue of Jane Magazine, the Nov/Dec 2003 issue of Women Who Rock Magazine and the Winter 2003 issue of Independent Musician Magazine. Waters’ song “Sweaters� was also the featured song for November 2003 in the official United Nations program, “New Songs for Peace�.

“Sweaters� has been aired on San Francisco radio waves on both KFOG-104.5 FM and KITS-Live 105.3 FM. Waters has performed live on San Francisco's morning radio show, "Sarah & Vinnie," on Alice 97.3 FM as well as such notable venues as The Chronicle Pavilion (Concord, CA) opening for Savage Garden, The Roxy (L.A.), The Sweetwater Saloon (Mill Valley, CA), Café Du Nord (San Francisco, CA) as well as a special performance for the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences in San Francisco.
