Episode 412 - BETTY

BETTY – the beloved indie rock trio that has been delighting both LGTQ+ and mainstream audiences for almost 40 years – are releasing their new anthem “Pride” as a single right in time for Pride Month.

They are best known for writing and performing the iconic theme song to Showtime’s “The L Word,” which is celebrating its 2oth anniversary this year. They also performed on the show four times.

In addition to their presence in the indie rock scene, their hit Off-Broadway musical BETTY Rules was directed by Michael Greif (Dear Evan Hansen, Rent) and they took part in “Sondheim - A Celebration at Carnegie Hall” alongside an all-star Broadway cast.
