Jo Beth Henderson is a Texan artist with a twist, to put it simply. She is a proud Native American, Choctaw tribe and Scottish descendant, which has flavored her influences in music and life as an artist from early on. Being a Libra also places much emphasis on her tendencies of style and expressivity. She is truly a by-product outcome of her generation, being born in 1973 into the luxurious lap of the classical rock era. Her performance debut was in theatre at age seven. Throughout her childhood she discovered the joys of musical theatre, comedy, songwriting, dance, and playing musical instruments. Soon, she developed these passions through instruction in piano and singing in choir. Coming from a large family that is extremely gifted in music in various aspects also set the way she views the worlds around us.
Through the teen years, she starred in several stage performances at civic performing art centers in Dallas, TX., and Garland, TX. By her late teen years, she began singing in the college choir that her father was director of before graduating high school. At that time she also began vocal instruction and joined other singers in the Texas All-State Choir. Still, there were more theatre shows and playing bass and guitar in the high school group ensemble for three years.
In her years of college study at Richland Jr. College in Dallas, TX., and at Southwest Texas State University (now known as Texas State University), she starred in many main-stage shows and studied opera and vocal performance for three more years. Jo Beth sang with the Richland Jr. College chorale at Carnegie Hall in 1993. Another rewarding achievements of the time was teaching vocal performance to outstanding musicians in Aberdeen, Scotland.
