NYC: "AN EVENING WITH BETTYE LAVETTE" AT CAFE CARLYLE
THE CAFE CARLYLE (35 East 76th Street, NYC - 212-744-1600 - ) welcomes R&B legend Betty LaVette to the legendary club in a rare New York appearance, Tuesday, May 24th through Friday, June 3rd. Performances are Tuesday through Friday at 8:45 pm and Saturday (May 28th only) at 8:45 and 10:45 pm. Ms. LaVette will showcase her inimitable style, gut wrenching vocals and songs from throughout her five decade career in a soul-shattering evening. She'll be accompanied by a band led by her musical director Alan Hill. Bettye LaVette has been honing her skills since her first single was released at the tender age of 16 in 1962. Yet it wasn't until four decades later when she was signed to Anti-Records in 2004 that Bettye began to garner a wide audience. Before that, she seemed to be the best kept secret in the world of rhythm & blues. With the release of My Own Hell to Raise in 2005 and the follow up, Scene of the Crime out in 2007, public awareness of Bettye began to grow. As a result, she was invited to perform at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2008. Hers was such a riveting performance the producers of the show proceeded to ask Bettye to sing at President Obama's Inaugural Celebration in front of the world. There is a $65 cover ($40, bar) for the Tuesday-Thursday performances and a $75 cover ($50, bar) for the Friday & Saturday performances. Dinner (required) is served from 6:30 pm.
