Beth Ballinger

Beth is a dedicated musician who has spent her life honing a lush, atmospheric style rooted in jazz and blues traditions. While she is a private individual, her personal values are clearly seen through her advocacy for LGBTQ+ youth and Multiple Sclerosis research, causes she supports through her work with the band. She joined Sarah and the Safe Word in 2017 during a time of expansion, providing the essential theatrical soundscapes that replaced the need for a full orchestra. Her presence has been vital in grounding the band's elaborate storytelling in complex, melodic arrangements.
