Her soulful re-imaginings of the music of artists such as Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Etta James, Willie Nelson, Elton John and Don Henley have earned her great acclaim. Bettye pours every emotional ounce of herself into the lyrics, shaping the music into her own pure original R&B style.
Notable highlights of Bettye’s career include performing at the Kennedy Center Honors, in tribute to Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend of The Who; and performing a duet with Jon Bon Jovi at the We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration.
Bettye was at the vanguard of soul music in the 60s and she has remained a vital force ever since. To hear her live and up close is to hear one of the strongest and most individual interpretive vocalists in the 21st century. Don't miss this rare West Coast appearance!
