A long-time favorite in the Americana singer/songwriter music scene, Bet left the U.S. over fifteen years ago to tour extensively in Europe. She is now back and performing solo shows up and down the East Coast. One of her special appearances will be at Pine Grove Hall, near her alma mater, Penn State. Some might remember her from the years she spent playing in groups such as the popular acoustic trio Bookends and the indie rock band Ticapoo Brain.

With a remarkable 4-octave range voice, clever lyrics, and a highly charismatic stage presence, Bet Williams captivates audiences with "superhuman reserves of energy" (New York Daily News). Her performances are full of raw emotion and striking honesty as she ventures into places most singer/songwriters hesitate to go.

“Bet Williams is a performer who is seething with life,” according to NPR. No wonder she has appeared on stages with artists such as Taj Mahal, Joan Osborne, Herbie Hancock, Arlo Guthrie and Lucinda Williams.

Armed with beautiful melodies, an extraordinary voice, and an intricate rhythmic guitar style, Bet’s songs come to life through the power of their stories. Whether it’s the humorous “Barbecue Song”, the thoughtful “Breezes in Brooklyn”, or a stunning a cappella piece about a woman’s life in Afghanistan, Bet uses her world travels to fuel her writing and give voice to revolutions of the heart and mind.

“Her lyrics are at once thought-provoking and humorous, poetic and passionate. The emphasis is on rootsy, blues-influenced music that showcases her four-octave powerhouse voice.”—Philadelphia Inquirer

“Bet Williams knows the blues. She stands on the stage with her blond curls falling over her shoulders, an acoustic guitar and her powerful voice that whirls through four octaves. She sings about parting forever, the fear of failing, the happiness of a rainy day, and the key to the covenant that makes you forget which door it fits. Love, happiness, despair, the troubles of everyday life - this is the Blues. They say to make it through life, you have to experience the blues. If you know your story, Bet Williams will accompany you on this journey.” —Hamburger Abendblatt/ Hamburg Evening News
