Lina Beach is a Memphis-based singer-songwriter, guitarist, and the newest member of the legendary Hi Rhythm Section. Since joining the band in 2023, she has toured internationally and performed alongside legendary artists including Carla Thomas, Al Green, William Bell, Eddie Floyd, and Cedric Burnside. Most recently, she contributed guitar to the award-winning Sinners soundtrack and is currently finishing her debut album at Royal Studios.

Originally from Franklin, Tennessee, Beach moved to Memphis to attend Rhodes College, where she landed an internship at Royal Studios with GRAMMY Award-winning producer Boo Mitchell. During a session break, Mitchell overheard her playing guitar and invited her to record an Al Green cover. He was struck by how closely her playing resembled that of Teenie Hodges—the legendary guitarist and songwriter behind Royal Studios classics including "Love and Happiness." He encouraged her to make records, and since then, Beach has earned the trust of the musicians who helped shape the Memphis soul sound while developing her own voice through raw, authentic songwriting and heartfelt performances.

Blending the warmth of classic Memphis records with honest, contemporary songwriting, Beach represents the next chapter of one of the city's most enduring musical traditions.
