Bettye LaVette is one of the greatest soul singers in American music history. Her voice is a force of nature—something to be reckoned with, and the ground she mines is the overlapping domains of American music where country, soul, blues, gospel and folk-pop meet. She imbues all these genres with a rawly forged ambiance and a palpable sense of loss.

The recipient of a W.C. Handy Blues Award, she’s performed at the Paris Jazz Festival and “I’ve Got My Own Hell to Raise” was included on hundreds of“10-Best” Lists. She will be touring in support of her latest CD, “Scene of the Crime which was just released to rave reviews in USA Today, Rolling Stone, People, Mojo and many other publications.
