Rolling Stone magazine describes Bettye LaVette as “someone who this very minute could unleash a performance that would make your hair stand on end.” And with good reason.
A timeless, deeply soulful singer, LaVette is an extraordinary performance powerhouse. Touring with her latest album, Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook, this Grammy-nominated songstress will take Arden audiences through her version of the British Invasion with music from bands like The Beatles, Elton John, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd — many of whom count themselves as fans of LaVette.
Blessed with volcanic vocal talents, LaVette’s voice commands absolute respect as it conjures devastatingly raw, emotional truths in performances that are more revelation than stage show.
“She groans, snarls, purrs, and hiccups her way through sweat-drenched performances that provoke chills, shudders of pain, and lip-licking arousal ... sometimes with a single song.”
–Blues Revue
