Bette Smith

Critically acclaimed rock & soul singer Bette Smith traces elements of her life-affirming music to her childhood in Brooklyn, NY. Musically, she connects to the gospel music she heard in church and the soul music she heard on the corners. This injection of soul and gospel into rock & roll powered a breakout in 2017’s “Jetlagger,” which received raves from national publications. In 2021, Living Blues and Blues Blast magazines nominated Bette and her album The Good, The Bad & The Bette for “Blues Artist of the Year” and best “Soul Blues Album.” Bette has opened for the Drive-By Truckers and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and performed at the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival.
