A new comer to the Rev's dark posse, Betty plays 5 string violin, bringing the ensemble back to its more string based early years while bringing a refreshing style of her own.

Besides riding out fiddling with the Rev. she also is currently fiddling with Irish Punk band The Gobshites and playing a monthly solo residency at The Abbey Lounge. Betty has performed and recorded with a wide range of pop, rock, folk, and country artists, including Paula Kelley, Ad Frank, Darkbuster, The Beau Roland Band, Grubstake, Lonesome Jukebox, Rick Berlin, Jeff Washer, Myke Weiskopf and more. She may also be found in string sections for shows at major Boston venues, adding support to community orchestras, performing with the Orange Line Trio and other chamber groups, creating & performing string quartet arrangements of Boston rock/pop musicians' songs with her group The String Sluts, and teaching classes on improvisation.

Her favorite drink is a Mojito, though a good Guinness Draft is never a bad thing.
