Bettye LaVette (Columbia Festival of the Arts)

“Ms. LaVette now rivals Aretha Franklin
as her generation’s most vital soul singer.”
– The New York Times

Soul singer Bettye LaVette’s name has been on the lips of many since her highly praised performance at the 2008 Kennedy Center Honors, and her staggering duet with Jon Bon Jovi at the Inauguration of President Obama. Her latest CD, Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook, has garnered not only scores of accolades, but a 2010 GRAMMY® Nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Album.
