L.A. Beat

This is the band's first tour in over ten years! They'll be in 

Lethbridge on May 16th playing the University Theatre at the University 

of Lethbridge. The Be Good Tanyas also have a Best Of compilation 

dropping later this year, July 2012.

  This trio – Sam (Samantha) Parton, Frazey Ford, and Trish Klein – got their name from a song by music pioneer Obo Martin ("Be Good Tanya") and now have three albums to their credit along with having a song or two in movies such as Because of Winn Dixie. There was, actually, an earlier Be Good Tanya – folk artist Jolie Holland, part songwriter, musician, and existentialist with a fiddle. But rambling blues bit her and bit her hard and she moved on to obtain solo status although she is featured with buddy Sam in the Tanyas’ newest album Hello Love on a Mississippi John Hurt tune, "Nobody Cares for Me."
