Walkabout Clearwater Coffeehouse Presents: Betty and the Baby Boomers
Betty and the Baby Boomers
Betty and the Baby Boomers consist of Betty Boomer, Jean Valla McAvoy, Paul Rubeo, Robert Bard and Steve Stanne. Their fans hail from the mountains of Connemara in Ireland to the Catskills overlooking New York’s Hudson Valley.
The folk magazine Sing Out! described the group as “a refreshing reminder of the halcyon days of American folk music”. In each song they display the sheer joy of singing and playing music.” Along with performing original songs from Jean, the Boomers draw on traditional tunes, music from classic folkies like Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and Phil Ochs, Americana roots music and contemporary artists such as Greg Brown, Bruce Springsteen, and Dougie MacClean. “Whatever the source, each song is “Boomerized” – set in distinctive arrangements with three and four part harmonies. The singers’ voices differ in range and color; they combine in a unique and resonant blend that is the Boomers’ signature. Their vocals are coupled to impressive instrumental work on guitars, Dobro, bass, bodhran, and kazoo; sometimes they perform an a capella selection. Critics agree they music is comprised of “beautiful melodies – meaningful lyrics – charming wit -all blended with engaging personalities”!
