Betsy Olson - grew up in Billings, Montana. For years as a kid, she woke up to her mom and dad ringing in Saturday and Sunday morning with anything from the Beatles' "White Album" to Led Zeppelin's "Physical Graffiti." After several years of classical piano training, she picked up the guitar, joined a band in college and got a taste for being on stage. She moved to Seattle in 2001, hit the open mic circuit and began playing solo shows. In the summer of 2004, Betsy took a break from playing solo and played bass and keyboards for local band, Banner Barbados. After Banner Barbados ceased to exist in 2005, she began to attack her solo career with more ambition. Betsy has since worked with rhythm sections and has recently played Seattle hotspots like The Tractor Tavern, Sunset Tavern, Neumos and The High Dive. Subpop recording artist, Sera Cahoone, currently plays drums for Betsy. Her music includes a mix of rock, blues, and alt country with the influence of Zeppelin, The Black Keys, Janis Joplin, and The Gossip. Betsy will be releasing her first full length album in October 2009.
