Betty Taylor w/ Angela Rose & Mishayla
Betty Taylor is the friend who holds your hand after your heart's been broken. The band is made up of Sophie Patrick, whose indie hooks and sincere and often tongue in cheek lyrics are complemented by Kayla Smart (AKA Dorah Jacson)'s stunning harmonies and dreamy guitar riffs. Helping to strike this perfect balance between power and charm are Claire Chittick on bass and Katie Ishaque on drums.
