Bette: “I define myself primarily as a soul singer, as my style originated from the southern part of the United States. So my style would be defined as subtle soul/southern rock/blues. Curtis: “the influences come from both what we listened to as kids and where we were as we were growing up. So Bette grew up in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and there was every style of music you can imagine. So the well of musical influences was endless for Bette. As for the other band members they are from all over the United States. So it’s really nice as we’re really taking in all the influences that were around us growing up and putting it through Bette’s filter”-from La Hora Musica television 📺 interview 11/19/19#fistfulladollarssong#bialarconmigo #Bettesmith#curtisjsocial (at Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_-L8HrDEJP/?igshid=q1nacdnj7ap0
