Singer Bette Smith traces elements of her music to her childhood in Brooklyn, where she heard gospel in church and soul on street corners. Combining these influences with rock and roll, Smith’s 2017 album Jetlagger was a breakout success, earning rave reviews from American Songwriter, Billboard, and the New York Times. Her latest album, The Good, the Bad, and the Bette, has been called “a stompin’ good time” by NPR’s All Things Considered and landed on legendary critic Jim DeRogatis’s list of 2020’s best albums.
Smith, who in recent years has toured with Drive-By Truckers and Kenny Wayne Shepherd and performed across the United States and Europe, brings her life-affirming fusion of soul, blues, and rock to the MFA to kick off another season of Concerts in the Courtyard.
