- **Event Name**: Concert Series: Bette Smith
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 22 Jan, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Thu, 22 Jan, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Critically acclaimed and blessed with a voice described as “raspy,” “sassy,” “raunchy” and “sweet ’n soulful,” Bette grippingly fuses the soul, rock &amp; roll, funk, blues, and gospel music she heard in her Brooklyn youth into something all her own.

The young Bette Smith would have no idea that her music would take her around the world, from shows in America headlining and supporting the likes of Kenny Wayne Shepherd and the Drive-By Truckers to spotlights in the pages of The New York Times, Billboard, Paste, Bust, and beyond; from the airwaves of NPR World Café and the top 40 of the Americana Music Radio Chart to official Spotify playlist adds and a song streamed well over a million times.

She traveled to the UK to make her new album Goodthing with GRAMMY Award-winning producer Jimmy Hogarth (Amy Winehouse, James Blunt, James Bay, Anonhi &amp; The Johnsons, Sia, Corinne Bailey Rae, Tina Turner). Hogarth attests, “Bette is the real deal. Her delivery is the truth and comes straight from the heart. She is able to communicate with ease with her wonderful gift of a voice and I was delighted to work on this record.”
