Beth Ditto, born Mary Beth Patterson in 1981, hails from Searcy and made her name howling at the front of the indie rock band Gossip. Her voice is a force of nature, big, raw and full of soul, and it has drawn comparisons to Etta James, Janis Joplin and Tina Turner. Singer, songwriter, actress and radio presenter, she has never been one to stay in a single box.
She put Gossip to bed to chase a career in fashion, then came back to music on her own terms. Fake Sugar, her solo album from 2017, gave rock radio "Fire" and "We Could Run", songs that keep that voice front and center, blending rock with dance music and without dimming the lungs one watt.
The acting side came into focus in 2022, when she played a country singer named Gigi Roman on the Fox drama Monarch. Two years later Gossip reformed, and the band she had walked away from had its singer back.
