About This Event
Heavens to Betsy, the two-piece punk group formed in Olympia in 1991 by singer‑guitarist Corin Tucker and drummer Tracy Sawyer, brings its DIY riot grrrl roots and stripped-down guitar-and-drums approach to the Bowery Ballroom. The set foregrounds Tucker’s blunt, percussive vocal lines and directness of form, a contrast to her later work with Sleater‑Kinney and a reminder of the band’s early, unvarnished aesthetic.
