Artist: Betsy Lawrence

Vocalist and guitarist Betsy Lawrence and pianist John Burgh examine the evolving roles of women in music over the past 70 years through popular American songs. From early standards written by men and performed by women such as Judy Garland and Etta James to modern singer-songwriters like Corrine Bailey Rae and Taylor Swift, this program encourages students to sing along, ask questions and join the artists on stage to engage in the music-making fun, while they gain a historical context for the progressing rights and roles of women in our culture. Students will be able to identify featured female singers and songwriters from the recent past and examine how they have affected our culture and daily lives.
