An Intimate Evening with Bettye LaVette at the Aladdin Theater on 10/02/2019. This was a very special evening, as Bettye sat onstage accompanied only by her keyboard player, Evan Mercer. She performed songs from throughout her 57 year career, including songs that she used to perform in small Detroit clubs before her 21st century resurgence began. She also performed songs from her 2018 CD "Things Have Changed", and her CD "A Woman Like Me". Many of these songs she does not perform with her full band, so it was a very different experience than past performances in Portland.
