Betty
1529 16th Street NW
Washington DC
Fronted by African-American singer Alyson Palmer and queer Jewish sisters Elizabeth and Amy Ziff, BETTY’s distinct vocals have been heard for 35 years on radio, film, TV, and the internet, including: the Michael J. Fox holiday classic Life With Mikey; HBO’s Encyclopedia and Real Sex; Showtime’s The L Word; Pringles ads nationwide; and ten albums.
BETTY’s heartfelt feminist passion and international appearances as Arts Envoys for the US State Department led Gloria Steinem to suggest they create The BETTY Effect, a non-profit for their ongoing work on behalf of women, girls, and LGBTQ+ people.
Know some youngsters who want to rock out? Check out BETTY’s Family Workshop on Sunday, May 15.
