Over the past few years more and more music lovers and critics have
“re-discovered” the amazing vocal artistry of Bettye LaVette.
In December of 2008 Bettye was a featured artist at
the Kennedy Center Honors and was asked to pay tribute to The Who,
performing their classic song, “Love Reign Over
Me.” After her electrifying rendition,
the venerable rock critic of The New York Times, Jon Pareles,
had this to say: “Ms. LaVette, 64, now rivals Aretha Franklin as her
generation’s most vital soul singer.”
Join us Saturday, August 7th at 8:00 PM
for this very special “Cyprus Avenue Live at the Folly!”
presentation when the great Bettye LaVette hits center stage at the
historic Folly Theater!
“…whether it’s vintage rock, soul
or blues, Betty LaVette consistently delivers breathtaking proof that a
great singer – with a great song – can transport
listeners to magical places.”
Bill Shapiro,
host of KCUR 89.3 FM’s “Cyprus
Avenue”
