  • Bio

    From within the great Canadian tradition of guitar-slingin', booze-swillin', injustice-condemnin' wandering poet women comes Betsy MacDonald. Betsy hails from Antigonish, Nova Scotia, and has been making her mark on the music scene across the province and the country with a sound that vaccilates between the smooth and the gritty. Whether it's a touching folk melody or a trippy alt-country groove, Betsy's music is catharsis for the alienated worker of our times. And when you hear her, you might want to cry into your drink. Or chuck a brick through a window. Or maybe even both at the same time.
