Bio: Clear Blue Betty emerged in 2002 out of the highly respected Madison music scene and has quickly risen through the ranks to become a Wisconsin-music powerhouse.
Their freshman release, Never Been a Rebel, earned them the 2005 Madison Area Music Award (MAMA) for Best Rock Album. Not to be outdone, their 2006 sophomore disc, Write Your Name in the Sky, also won the 2007 MAMA for Best Rock Album. It was released to a sold-out crowd at Madison's Majestic Theater and has already been described as "a giant step forward ... putting Clear Blue Betty in the running as one of Madison's hottest groups" (Rick's Cafe, May 06).
Their music has been described as anything from "Madison's answer to the BoDeans" (Isthmus, Aug 06) to "intelligent, vigorous rock & roll" (Madison Songwriters' Group, May 06) and "high energy Midwest roots rock" (Appleton Post Crescent, Mar 06). Whatever the description, one thing is evident - their live shows are always powerful and entertaining, as thousands of fans across the Midwest can attest. 2007 Madison Area Music (MAMA) Awards: Entertainer of the Year Best Rock Artist Best Rock Album (Write Your Name in the Sky)
