Description

Bettman & Halpin Bettman and Halpin are taking the folk music world by storm! Known for her strong vocals, story-telling lyrics, and expert fiddling, Stephanie Bettman pairs her songwriting talent with Luke Halpin's skilled mandolin, guitar, and banjo playing, as well as his dynamic tenor vocals to create a chillingly beautiful harmony blend. As a vocalist, Bettman has drawn comparisons to Emmylou Harris, Joan Baez, and Alison Krauss. Halpin’s quirky sense of humor proves the perfect foil for her dry wit. The two caught the eye of Producer Dan Blackburn who then created a documentary based around the duo's "It All Comes Back to Love" tour, which aired Dec. 12, 2012 on KCET. Adding two other members, their band forms an eclectic sound with wise and witty lyrics that stick with you long after the concert is over. They perform an engaging mixture of folk, roots, bluegrass, and Americana with transcendent harmonies and roof-raising instrumentals and are quickly earning a reputation for mesmerizing performances. |
