Beth Orton live in Turners Falls

Experience Beth Orton live on September 20th

Beth Orton will perform at the Shea Theater Arts Center in Turners Falls, Massachusetts on September 20, 2026. Orton is a British singer-songwriter known for her distinctive blend of folk, electronic, and jazz influences. Her music frequently incorporates elements of trip-hop, downtempo, and subtly textured soundscapes alongside intimate, often melancholic vocals and lyrical storytelling. Throughout her career spanning the 1990s to present, she has released critically acclaimed albums such as *Trailer Park* and *Central Reservation*, establishing herself as a significant figure in the development of “folktronica.”

The Shea Theater Arts Center is a restored 1923 vaudeville house located in Turners Falls. Originally built as a movie palace and performance venue, it served as a central entertainment hub for the region for several decades. Following a period of decline and closure, a community-led restoration project began in the 1980s. The theater reopened in 1991 and now functions as a multi-disciplinary arts center presenting film, live music, theater productions, and other cultural events.
