BETA Records - Your music matters!

Dee Bradshaw and Frank Partick grew up together and started sowing their
musical oats at a young age. In fact, it was Dee's talented father,
James Bradshaw, who taught Frank to play the guitar and to this day Frank
remembers his teacher's lessons fondly.
Dee and Frank both spent the 70's, 80's and 90's jamming with different
artists and were exposed to incredible range of musical genres and styles.
As happy as Dee was playing the material of so many talented musicians, he
had a burning desire to try writing and arranging his own songs. And he
could think of no one he¹d rather collaborate with than his good Œole buddy
Frank.
They started with a song Frank had written back in 1983, ³Gypsy Woman². The
new smokin¹ hot arrangement came so smoothly and easily, that they knew they
were onto something right. Over the next 6 months, they would write a ton
of new material, each tune better than the last.
With the melodies complete, they were ready to fill out their sound with
some new players who would be a perfect fit.
First came Jason, who auditioned as base player, but won Frank and Dee over
with his incredible guitar playing and his amazingly positive attitude.
Next came Pauline, a groovy bassist with a solid funky rhythm and the
amazing ability to jam to any tune.
Tikka completed their sound by writing lyrics for many of the songs and
adding her killer voice to the mix.
