Beth Jeans Houghton is going places

Beth Jeans Houghton, tipped by many as the next big thing, has itchy feet – and it’s not just because her debut album has been held up for the past two years. 

The 21-year-old, from Heaton in England, is desperate to immerse herself in the Los Angeles music scene. She wants to move to the City of Angels, having fallen in love with the heat, palm trees, pace of life and “the feeling that it’s still the 1970s”.

“We’re off around Europe after the UK tour, then it’ll be festival time,” Houghton explains. “Ideally I’d like to record something before the end of the year – and in Los Angeles.” The pull of America’s West Coast might have something to do with Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman, Anthony Kiedis, if relationship rumours are true.

Houghton burst into the spotlight three years ago with her debut EP ‘Hot Toast Volume 1’. With her outlandish getup, she has an eye for the flamboyant and many have hailed her as a star in the making. She’s backed by ‘The Hooves Of Destiny’ band, a collection of friends who share her passion. Their debut album, ‘Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose,’ is rooted in folk tradition and Houghton is eager to get it out, but bad timing and illness have created delays.

“We are very ambitious.” she says.

“Not to sound maudlin, but we’re all going to die, so you have to make it count. I’ve become increasingly ambitious during the past two years.”
