Composer - Vocalist - Song
Stylist
Distinctive, daring, soulful, atmospheric,
and melodic, Betsy Thomson’s original
compositions are well known in New York’s nightclub circuit, where she
has performed for over a decade. Her music is popular for its organic use of Celtic,
conceptual rock and folk elements. A true visionary artist, Thomson’s music is infused with her powerful
musical identity, a passion for exploring contemporary, edgy
composition, and a profound respect for important cultural and romantic
musical traditions of the past.
Thomson’s uncompromising song styles and unique voice have earned raves
from music critics in New York and abroad. Her concerts have been called
“performance art” for both their intensity and commitment. Recent
appearances in Ireland resulted in an interview on the BBC and several
subsequent engagements in Berlin. In Fall 2004, her song “Missions of my
Mind” shot to number one on Europe’s Radio Fedra. |
"Outstanding"
Frederick Geobold,
DJ at WBAI, NYC
"Betsy Thomson: Offering Wuthering Heights-gothic meets
Joni Mitchell fearless folk and a little bit of Nina Hagan opera, dynamic,
her searing orchestral epics are completely enveloping."
