Dark City Songwriter Round with host Beth Lee featuring Ty Gilpin & Miriam Alan

Beth Lee is an award winning songwriter who lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. Her writing is heavily influenced by bluegrass and traditional country music. She is passionate about writing lyrically diverse songs – songs that are sometimes sweet, sometimes tough, sometimes swampy, but always speak the truth. She invites the listener to go on a journey, taken away by the story, reminding us of who we are, who we want to be, or who we have been.

Ty Gilpin was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee and relocated to Asheville, North Carolina in the early 90s. His family roots and ancestry go back to the earliest founding of Asheville and Buncombe County. He spent the last 25 years in the Music business as a marketing agent, promoter and artist advocate. He’s a singer songwriter and national touring artist with the group UNSPOKEN TRADITION. He also has solo recordings under his name and has been involved in several musical projects through the years. His songwriting reflects the ever changing culture of Western North Carolina.

Miriam Allen is a multi-instrumentalist songwriter with “a voice that entices the listener to steal it away for selfish keeping” (Mountain Xpress.) She is also a sailor, a metalsmith, a carpenter, a backpacker & wilderness junkie. Hundreds of nights sleeping alone on her boat in mountain coves has inspired songs about the natural world and all of its wild beauty.
