STEPHANIE BETTMAN & HER BOYS @ The Coffee Gallery Backstage June 5th

“A fiddle playing charmer with a set of pipes she knows how to use and gift of gab that regularly amuses her audiences” – Jesse Lilly, Mondo Cult Magazine
Stephanie Bettman and her band were among the winners in this year’s Topanga Banjo / Fiddle contest. And when they played the 2007 Sedona Bluegrass Festival, buzz on the street labeled her “the next Alison Krauss”.
Stephanie’s music is new and very catchy; an engaging mixture of bluegrass, folk, roots, and jazz with sophisticated lyrics and killer instrumentation set in a folky mountain vibe.
She has an angelic voice, and when her band chimes in with those soaring harmonies, audiences have been heard to gasp “wow”. This project is the culmination of Stephanie’s lifelong love affair with the performing arts. She’s acted and produced films, theater and commercials, written screenplays, and performed as a trapeze and circeau artist. Her violin has taken her from the National Theater Of Korea to The Capistrano Valley Symphony and beyond.
Stephanie is backed by an impressive acoustic ensemble: Danny Ciarfallia (guitar and vocals), Luke Halpin (mandolin and vocals) and Brian Netzley (bass and vocals). Her illustrious band members have worked as studio musicians in Nashville, toured this country as well as others, and opened for everyone from Kenny Chesney to Merle Haggard. Based out of Los Angeles, Stephanie and her band have shared the stage with some of Southern California’s favorite bluegrass and roots artists at festivals and in numerous respected venues.
