Beth Nielsen Chapman’s new release, “Uncovered”, a batch of ‘premium’ songs she’s written but never recorded have already been hits or covers by other artists. Some were top ten hits, with seven of them topping the charts. The title, “Uncovered” was suggested by none other than Bob Harris. “Once I heard that name I knew exactly what this record needed to be.”
Recorded in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and her own “Tree House” studio in Nashville, Chapman’s prowess at writing in a wide range of styles shines through on this collection. From the infectious pop sensibilities of “This Kiss” (Faith Hill) and “Simple Things” (Jim Brickman) to the strains of bluegrass and country in “Strong Enough To Bend (#1 for Tanya Tucker) and “Nothin’ I Can Do About It Now” (#1 for Willie Nelson), the true thread that runs through it all is a her great passion for the well written song. It is also clear that she has a whole lot of fun performing these songs, and has no trouble bringing them home and making them her own once again.

25 April: Hawk’s Well, Sligo
27 April, Grand Opera House, Belfast
30 April, The Venue Theatre, Rataoth, Meath
