Flying Cat Music is pleased to present Austin-based singer/songwriter and recording artist BettySoo at the Empire State Railway Museum in Phoenicia on Sunday, November 22, at 7:30 pm. A winner of the 2008 Kerrville New Folk, Big Top Chautauqua, and Wildflower Festival songwriting contests; she comes to Phoenicia on the heels of a three-week tour of Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands.


BettySoo is the daughter of Korean immigrants who settled in the Bronx before moving to Texas when she was a baby. Audiences don’t always know what to expect when they first see BettySoo on stage. As she herself observes, "It's true that most Asian-Americans grow up with a lot of pressure to fit into a certain career path, but" – and she laughs – "this is not that path, in case anyone was wondering." But as a voice from the crowd at a Texas venue exclaimed loudly one night, she's blessed with "a voice like an angel!"

Greg Roberts, writing in Country Line Magazine, captured the BettySoo phenomenon perfectly when he wrote: “It's almost like there are two people here, there is the small, soft spoken, demure person that is offstage, friendly and warm, talking to everyone. Then, in the seven steps it takes to get to the stage, another person appears. When she opens her mouth to sing, out comes this gargantuan voice captivating you with these soul-stripping, emotional songs that are all original compositions. After listening to her CD, I was even more impressed….I think we're looking at a future multi-platinum, Grammy-winning star here and I want to be the first to say, “I told you so”.”
