Biography

Bootleg Betty hurls you into alle corners of the roots music. Full of energy, this Dutch band fires it's polyphonic mix of rockabilly, country and rock 'n roll at you. Their contemporary approach to these traditional genres results in a recognizable sound which is anything but outdated. This can be heard on debut EP Left the Barn, released on the brand new Kroese Records label founded by record store Kroese. The sold-out release show one week later marked the start of a tour at venues and festivals. With the release of the music video for single A Song Called Wanda - a tribute to rockabilly star Wanda Jackson - the band continued it's tour. Their contagious live shows helped them gain invitations for big festivals like Paaspop, Bevrijdingsfestival Zwolle and Zwarte Cross within a year. In 2020 the band will release it's new album called Soul Searching. A fresh new album with a lot of new experiments and influences without losing the recognizable Bootleg Betty Roots Feel. "Bootleg Betty leaves an impression to be proud of with their EP Left the Barn. It can be hard to stand out in the crowded world of pop music nowadays, yet this talented quintet has exactly what it takes." - 3voor12 Gelderland www.bootlegbetty.nl
