"Song after song followed and I was blown away after each one. Bombara has a jubilant way about her as she plays and sings and it is difficult not to get caught up in it. I kept waiting for that moment where I could pigeonhole her sound. You know, that moment when you can see the influences on an artist’s sleeve? Just couldn’t find it. There are fleeting moments but I found her and the band to be refreshingly original in both their songcraft and delivery...as we approach the end of the set, I find myself not wanting it to end." - AMERICANA HIGHWAYS
"Beth Bombara's first time at Club Passim was playing to a packed room on a Tuesday night that left a room full of people wanting more. It is so exciting to see a performer knock one out of the park on their first time in!" - MATT SMITH, CLUB PASSIM
“There’s a maturity and complexity that transcends most rootsy Americana offerings. I came away from the set with a smile on my face. Bombara is an artist with far more miles than years on her. It lends an ease to what she does on stage.” - TWIN CITIES MEDIA
“Don’t let this one pass you by!” - AMERICAN SONGWRITER MAGAZINE

ABOUT BETH
Beth Bombara’s It All Goes Up is for this moment what Kathleen Edwards’ Back To Me was for the early 2000s. It’s all there – the songwriting first and foremost with a voice that connects on a raw, emotional level alongside production led by Bombara’s undeniable musicality, retaining the intimacy of being wholly conceived by the artist herself.
Bombara’s last album, Evergreen, was well-received by fans and media alike. “The likes of Aimee Mann and Jewel are fair comparisons,” noted the L.A. Weekly, “every tone is tinged with emotion, nothing is wasted.”
With It All Goes Up, Bombara has risen to a new level and let some light in. “There's more light, more hope in this record,” she says, “and it feels more positive sonically, as well.” These songs were written during the chaos of the past couple years, and the time found Bombara looking for silver linings, writing to keep herself positive and keep her mind open and fresh. She continues, “During the pandemic I reconnected with an old guitar that had been collecting dust in my closet for many years. It’s a classical guitar, and I wrote a lot of the songs for this record on it, which brought something different to them and took the tone of the record in a new direction.” Bombara’s songwriting certainly did take a turn – upwards, in more ways than one.
