Bettman & Halpin: Joyful Acoustic Americana
BETTMAN & HALPIN
“Emotive Joan Baez inspired vocals . . . head-spinning mandolin and guitar picking . . . velvety close harmonies.”
Nationally touring and award-winning duo Bettman & Halpin (Stephanie Bettman & Luke Halpin) perform a fresh, yet enduring combination of Americana, folk, and bluegrass. Perfectly blending Bettman’s Joan Baez-esque vocals and exquisite fiddle playing with Halpin’s adept musicality on mandolin, fiddle, and banjo, the duo executes their original, heartfelt music with unmatched skill and joy. The duo also incorporates masterful storytelling into their live shows, inviting audiences along on vibrant journeys with tantalizing musicality and vaudeville-style humor. Their passion for music and performance is only surpassed by their love of outreach. Active in many organizations and programs in their home state of Colorado, the duo are always eager to bring their programs that showcase the power of music to other communities through residency.
Touring productions are also available in trio and quartet configurations.
