Folk Alliance International (folk.org) is a nonprofit organization that aims to serve, strengthen, and engage the global folk music community through preservation, presentation and promotion.
Bett Padgett’s Beneath Blue Water, her 11th studio album, is a testament to her range as a multi-instrumentalist, seamlessly blending guitar, clawhammer banjo, mandolin, piano, and harp into a textured folk tapestry. As the album progresses, Padgett’s varied approaches keep you engaged, from bluegrass inflections to airy, whimsical charm. Beneath Blue Water offers a unique blend of emotions and genres, creating a listening experience that feels deeply personal yet wide-ranging. It’s an album that invites you into Padgett’s world, one that balances folk tradition with an adventurous spirit.”

“I have always thought of myself as a ‘glass is half full’ kind of person. The songs I write are about the world I see with an optimistic aspect. Through music I hope to educate, touch hearts, and help people see issues from a different perspective. Perhaps they will feel compelled to get involved to make changes in today’s world and make it a better place.”
