About
5-Foot Betty is a witty woman-made Americana band from Boulder County, Colorado that plays jazzy, grassy country fueled by high-energy musicality and chosen-family vibes.
Their crowd-pleasing originals and signature spins on beloved classics celebrate moxie, hope and the power of a good pun to lift the spirit.
Founded and led by Sharon Glassman on fiddle/vocals, with Haven Slay on guitar/vocals and Liz Patton on upright bass/harmonies, the Betties charm audiences of all ages.
Fan-favorites include: “Wyoming Truck” (a city-girl meets country truck romance), “Alabama Sugar/Whiskey Before Breakfast” (a soulful ballad of love and loss combined with a classic fiddle tune) and the Betty take on Doris Day’s “Perhaps.” (Did someone say “These Boots” in French? Mais oui!)
Named after groundbreaking 1960s banjo player Betty Amos, 5-Foot Betty has performed at the RockyGrass Band Competition, won the first-ever Denver Bluegrass Conference band competition and regularly entertains at spots where happy music lovers gather.
