Cyprus Ave Live At The Folly Is Proud To Present:
Bettye LaVette
Saturday August 7 - 8pm
Preceding the concert "Face to Face" with Bill Shapiro at 7pm


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
