BETTY FOX & ELLIE LEE at Skipper's Smokehouse $7 adv

Betty Fox Band: With an extensive background in gospel and a lifelong passion for soul music, Betty Fox has burst onto the Florida music scene in a whirlwind of controlled yet unabashed passion and has taken the hearts of anyone wise enough to lend her their ear. Betty Fox appreciated singing early in life and performed for the first time at a church play at the age of 4. Her family had a deep love for southern country gospel and tight harmonies which they would express at every family gathering, and that is where her obsession with music began. "My Uncle Fred would pound on the keys with his monster hands and the harmonies would resonate in my soul", Fox says. Now, at age 27, Fox has her own musical project with quite a few heart wrenching, lyrically driven, and musically sound original tracks that beg the question "What kind of life must this old soul have lived?" To support her talent, she has carefully selected musical heavyweights Josh Nelms on guitar, Matt Walker on bass, and Sam Farmer on drums to set herself up for nothing less than well deserved success. This is a band consisting of, arguably, some of the most talented players the greater Tampa Bay area has to offer. They've shared bills with artiststhe likes of Selwyn Birchwood, The Legendary JCs, Roosevelt Collier of "The Lee Boys", Damon Fowler, Lucky Peterson, Shaun Murphy, Bill Wharton "The Sauce Boss" bettyfox.net
