Get Ready for Betty: A Funk-Filled Tribute to Betty Davis

Description

Nona Hendryx, along with an all-woman band, pays tribute to the ferocious funk disrupter and agitator Betty Davis, whose influence rippled through the decades. Musical director Etienne Stadwijk.

"Betty Davis was an iconoclast, a shape shifter, and a woman on fire—singing and setting alight everything in her path. With eyes ablaze, heels pounding, strutting across a stage, she was a phantasmagorical peacock, speaking her truth. Like quicksilver, she imagined and defined her own beliefs and visions."

—Nona Hendryx
