"Edgy performances, catchy pop-punk melodies and sweet-'n'-sour lyrics paint a vivid picture of life just under the radar." - Newsweek

"Punk-pop women [who] know the score ...[BETTY's] eclectic style has roots in everything from hard rock to musical theater." - The Washington Post

BETTY is a five-piece pop rock band with a unique sound that blends tight harmonies layered over rocking guitars and a solid rhythm section. Since 1986, BETTY has performed their memorable live show - full of exciting, hook-laden songs, clever word play and manic energy - in clubs, theatres and arenas all over the world.

BETTY began as an edgy a'cappella/spoken word/techno-beat trio in Washington DC. Fierce Elizabeth (vocals, guitar), funky Alyson (vocals, bass) and funny Amy (vocals, cello) are the songwriters, while virtuoso guitarist Tony Salvatore and sizzling drummer Mino Gori complete the band, now based in downtown NYC.

BETTY's national tour of their hit Off-Broadway show, BETTY Rules, their controversial new theme song for Showtime Television's most popular show, The L Word, and their acting appearances on that program have catapulted this deeply beloved cult band to wider international recognition.

Westglow Resort and Spa

Westglow Resort and Spa is situated on an historic 20-acre estate that was once the home of the famed artist and writer Elliott Dangerfield. The mansion was built in 1916, and spares no details. The majestic Grecian columns gracing the façade were shipped by barge from Italy, and the foyer and staircase were designed by a prominent French architect. Most of the furnishings - and a vast collection of books in the library - are originals from the Daingerfield era.

Join us on the exquisite grounds of Westglow Resort and Spa for an evening of dining catered by the resort's acclaimed Rowland's Restaurant, dancing to the beat of one of the hippest bands on the music scene and luxuriating in the atmosphere that can only be found at the "number one boutique spa in the world!" *

Evening to include valet parking, dinner and concert. Cash bar will be open throughout the evening.

$95 per person; limited seating available.
