   About Blues Bettie

Blues Bettie
SoCal's 9 piece Blues, Funk and Soul band, blending Shari Puorto's amazing vocal energy, with emotional guitar work and vocals from bluesman Claude von Trotha, throw in a rhythm section assembled from some of SoCal's tightest groovers, and drive it home with the power of the world renowned Blues Bettie Horns! As the supporting show for WAR, Tower of Power, Dave Mason, Leon Russell, 10 Years After, Savoy Brown, Dickey Betts and Great Southern, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Larry Carlton, Michael Burks, Coco Montoya, Billy Vera and the Beaters, Walter Trout, Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers, Anthony Gomes, The Flying Other Brothers, G.E. Smith, Liquid Soul, Eric Sardinas.... well, you get the picture, this is a band that makes it's way playing live music.... what it is, not what it was. Blues Bettie works hard to uncover new audiences that groove to their style of funky, electric, in-your-face-and-body blues and soul music. Blues Bettie's debut namesake CD delivers the power, capturing Blues Bettie's signature SoCal sound! Feel the energy, and experience the BIG sound of Blues Bettie featuring Shari Puorto live or on CD!!
