Have a listen! https://youtu.be/mu9dj9x_YTA
The Betsies are a boundary-breaking, original sister act breathing new life into the South African music scene with their unmistakable blend of Country, Folk and Americana. Raised on harmonies of Country music, these multi-instrumentalists channel the grit of the Karoo, the charm of Nashville, and the storytelling tradition of their own backyard.
With Landi Degenaar on banjo and acoustic guitar, Zelmari Degenaar on Bass, Hugo Veldsman on pedal steel and Paul Avenant on drums, The Betsies craft hauntingly beautiful songs that linger long after the last chord fades.Their sound is raw yet refined — a rare fusion of vintage Americana and fresh Southern African soul.
Whether playing intimate unplugged sets or bringing down the house at festivals, The Betsies captivate audiences with their blood harmony, poetic lyrics, and undeniable sister chemistry.First introduced to global audiences on Apple TV’s My Kind of Country ( https://youtu.be/ehZYlFLv6FM ), The Betsies are now carving out their own sonic path — rooted in honesty, harmony, and a fierce love for music that tells the truth....
Country is the genre. Knysna is the stage. The Betsies are the moment.
