The Betty Fox Band

On the heels of her upcoming album release; "Slow Burn"- Betty Fox is poised to become a very hot commodity in the ever-changing climate of Blues Music. In the process, The Betty Fox Band has once again, put Central Florida in the spotlight- which, in case you hadn't noticed, is a hotbed for the blues of late.
Blues, Soul & Funk, are the main ingredients that makes her music cook, and Betty is the Master Chef  that delivers the appetizing and delectable sounds to the listeners ears. Not an overnight success, Betty has honed her craft, paid her dues and continues to evolve as an emerging artist. Wisely, she has surrounded herself with a talented group of veteran musicians who complement her wide range of vocal talent and this troop is spot on with impeccable timing and precision. On guitar; Kid Royal; unequivocally knows his way around the fretboard. Barry Williams on bass guitar is without a doubt the backbone of the rhythm section. Finally, Sam Farmer on drums, the man who ties everything together by laying down steady shuffles and accents, old school style.
The Betty Fox Band takes it to another level while on stage. They are definitely in their element when preforming live. Betty's vocal range soars and her emotion, soul and power are something to behold front row and center. At the recent Sea Blues Festival held in Clearwater, Florida, Betty & the band captivated the large crowd with 45 mins of non-stop, knock your socks off, down and dirty soul -blues, earning them a standing ovation from the audience of knowledgeable blues fans who literally begged for more!
To put things into perspective, I see good things in the immediate future for The Betty Fox Band. The 2012 release: Too Far Gone was a milestone and just a beginning of things to come. Slow Burn is an analogy for her musical career. Ms Betty Fox is about to illuminate as an artist and realize her dreams come true.
