Beth Ann McDowell

Beth Ann McDowell is an indie singer-songwriter hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota. A seasoned world traveler, classical pianist, and ethereal vocalist, Beth Ann's music blends classical with synth, electronic with organic, all wrapped in an experiential soundscape with nostalgic undertones. McDowell's album, "The Sim Is Real", is out now on Pitch and Prose Record label.

Born in Seoul, South Korea, McDowell moved to Bloomington, Minnesota, at a young age. She grew up studying classical piano with aspirations of becoming a solo pianist. The songstress worked as a vocalist and keyboardist for the band Addamanera in Italy on their album Un Uomo Che Si Pensava Quell’Altro. During her time in Italy, Beth also collaborated with the band Mariposa and the founders of the label Trovarobato. She worked with artists Enrico Gabrielli and Sergio Giusti, along with 72 other musicians, on an experimental documentary called UPM - Unita’ di produzione musicale, which was shown at various film festivals.

"The Sim Is Real," released April 29 on Pitch and Prose record label, instead is arguably the most profound and serious of her career. Produced, recorded, and mixed by Walt Vincent who has worked with some of indie rock's darlings such as Liz Phair, Pete Yorn, and Scarlett Johanssen, it is a true testament to the artist creating her own path, and has already garnered attention from PopSugar, Still Listening Magazine, Last Day Deaf, Hot Lunch music blog, and Alchemical Records.
